Hello,
I live in a country with internet censorship.
At my windows os, I am using default settings on my connection, both on client and access server side. So far it has worked in a stable manner to provide access to blocked domains.
But I have problems in linux mint 18. I have configured a TCP connection on Port 443, using AES-256-CBC cipher on network manager with openvpn extension. Data connection seems stable and my IP does seem to change accordingly.
Upon establishing connection I can access ISP blocked domains freely. But after a minute or so, I suddenly cannot connect to any censored domain. As if I had never established a vpn connection. Server log states that my connection has not been disrupted.
Given that my windows client works perfectly fine in the same server, my guess is that problem is with my linux configuration. At first thought that ISP somehow managed to decipher my data so I switched to AES-256-CBC from client default ciphering. But that doesn't solve the problem.
Please help, best regards.
