Blynk without external router

We want to use Blynk app with ESP32 abroad/ on the streets/in the forest - without using any kind of additional router like fritz!box or so on. Does anyone has an idea how to succeed with this procedure?

You might be able to use your phone as a hotspot, it’s not usually the most reliable option though.

Pete, @phy, I do this with a fleet of over 40 Blynk-powered devices, each with a companion cellphone that utilizes the hotspot for Internet access. Works well except for hassle of maintaining a squadron of cell contracts with several wireless providers. I am now experimenting with using Blues Wireless Notecard as a data pump from the device to the Cloud, although not yet clear how to maintain the Blynk GUI for provisioning and interaction with the device.
