Being in 802.1X network; connection problem to vpn server

crepes12

Hello

i'm not quite acquainted with using openvpn. I created an openvpn server on a linux computer following some instructions that i found via google. It is possible to connect to this server while using my laptop, which is connected to a friend's wlan. While being connected in an 802.1X network of my university, it is not possible to connect via openvpn to my openvpn server.
The operating system of the laptop is a linux distribution as well. I use network-manager and network-manager-openvpn. Easy-rsa is installed, too.

I would be glad about getting some tips or some keywords, on which i should catch up.

Your university is probably blocking your access to your server on UDP:1194 ... You could try using TCP:443

Do i need to change another entry except for "proto tcp" and "remote ##.###.#.### 443" (# to replace my ip.....) in client configuration file and "proto tcp" and "port 443" in server configuration file? (both linux).

It has been a while since i created this server, so i needed to reread the instructions that i followed back then. I came to the conclusion, that i do not have to change anything else, but now it does not work in a network, in which it worked before. The port 443 is forwarded in both router firewalls as well.

I don't need to create new certificates or something like that, do i?

Openvpn server was restarted and laptop as well.

If you do not have control of the network then you do not know if you have access .. ask the network admins.
