Hi All
I am taking online classes and I need to connect to my institute network using OpenVPN. They are hosting OpenVPN on UDP port 1194. Unfortunately, my company blocks all outgoing traffic on UDP ports, including 1194. This has become an impediment for me to take my online classes from my work network. I usually try to do this during lunch or after hours.
What have I tried so far? I have access to AWS instance.
On Client Machine
1. I created ssh tunnel from client to AWS instance on port 7980
2. Using ncat I did created tunnel to forward all UDP traffic from port 1194 to TCP 7980 - sudo ncat -l -u -p 1194 < /tmp/fifo | ncat localhost 7980 > /tmp/fifo &
3. I edited OVPN file on client that I received from institute to add entry remote 127.0.0.1 1194 vs remote xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
On AWS instance
Using netcat I forwarded traffic received from client on TCP port to UDP 1194 to IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
I get an error that SSL handshake failed. Any ideas to resolve this? Or any other solution for me to connect to my institute network.
Thanks
