Hi there,
I'm going to try to make it short and to the point, so I won't bore you guys:
Goal: setup OpenVPN server for my friends abroad to get around the internet censorship in their place of residence.
Status: server is successfully set up ( thanks to the help of people on this forum 🙂). Tested from a number of places: Libraries, coffee shops and tethering to my phone. All worked beautifully!
However, not working from the internet filtered place. Here's what my friend gets when he tries to connect:
