OpenVPN Connection Breaks TLS Connections

jcglade55

Hello OpenVPN Community,

Me and a couple of my friends have a VPS and are hosting our own OpenVPN server. We are having a strange issue. When using the VPN, many secure connections to websites do not work. If it requires a secure TLS connection, there is a good chance it will timeout before the handshake is completed. What is strange is that this is only happening in some cases. On phones using OpenVPN connect, this isn't an issue. Moreover, on many websites, https works perfectly. But on others, if https is required, a connection cannot be made. The VPN is running over tcp. Obviously this isn't ideal, but from where we connect to the VPN from, only tcp traffic is allowed of the required port. Have any of you run into this problem or know how to fix it?

Thanks

Do you get any errors in your OpenVPN server or client logs ?
