VPNBook Server timeout

rickapel

Newbie to openvpn but seasoned IT
guy in other areas. Been using openvpn
Now for a couple months. Usually very
Quickly connects to CA server using
UDP 53 at home and other locations.
(A matter of 1-2 seconds)
All of a sudden I can't connect and
Start seeing server poll timeouts in log.
Tried TCP 443 for giggles and same result.

Also noticed OperaVpn can't connect.

Could this be an ISP issue. I've used this
Successful with TWC/Spectrum and
Comcast in the past. It is the TWC/Spectrum
Connection failing. I will venture out
To see if other wireless connections fail
The same way outside of my home.
My ISP internet connection is 100mbs and is
Extremely fast.

I am running on iPhone on iOS 10.3.1 but
Was successful earlier. No updates have occurred to openvpn code nor my ASUS router.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Update on my post. I can ping the OpenVPN
Server through my ISP but still receiving
Timeouts connecting from both iPhone
And android. The CA server I'm trying
To connect to is at 142.4.206.228 or
ca1.vpnbook.com

I thought that by posting to this forum
Someone from vpnbook would get involved

Basically all I got out of your reply is to provide thorough
documentation on the issue and then a moderator
will push it forward when it is felt that the
appropriate effort is made to do that.
Please let me know if that is the case.

This was a working connection on 5/5 and
I noticed that the connection was failing
on the morning of 5/6.

OS is iOS 10.1.3 on an iPhone SE
Running on wireless 100mbs 5 Ghz connection.
Trying to connect to 142.4.206.228
ca1.vpnbook.com

Version of OpenVpn I'm running is 1.1.1 build 212 64 bit
which i pulled in from the Apple store

I pulled out the end of the log and will provide more
if needed:

That is not the case.

We do not and can not provide support for VPNBook because we have nothing to do with them.
