Issues with public wifi

mrbaseball

OpenVPN setup and works great at home on my laptop and my Iphone 6. However, when I go anywhere else that has public wifi I constantly get connection timeouts and it never works. Whenever I switch wifi off to LTE, service starts working again. Any idea what is wrong?

What is the IP address of your server LAN ?

Not sure. What difference does it make?

If your server LAN is 192.168.0.0/24 or 192.168.1.0/24 then:

NOTE: your local LAN uses the extremely common subnet address 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x. Be aware that this might create routing conflicts if you connect to the VPN server from public locations such as internet cafes that use the same subnet.

If you need further assistance please post your server config and log.

Ip address is 10.0.0.1

Does it happen with all public WiFi? It could be due to port blocking. Are you using standard port 1194? Maybe try changing to 443 if you're running your own server.
