flamery Hi, So I have this weird problem, I know we shouldn't talk about geo blocking, but I'm pulling hairs out now - Using a paid vpn service on both my android/pc I can successfully access a webservice using their VPN app (its PrivateVPN is that makes any difference). But I have setup an openvpn connection to the same vpn server (same protocol (openvpn/udp/1194)) from an openwrt router, the service doesn't work (clients connect to an SSID which tunnels all traffic) it shows up as proxy/vpn detected. What's strange is both the vpn app and openvpn get the same public IP. I know it sounds like a DNS leak but I have used every dns/ip leak test there is and not one of them leaks to me to any other country than the expected vpn endpoint. The openvpn config is pretty basic - I have tried block-outside-dns which wouldn't connect, and also redirect-gateway autolocal which made no difference. Any ideas or suggestions? remote xxx.pvdata.host 1194 udp nobind dev tun # Options tun-ipv6 remote-cert-tls server client comp-lzo persist-key persist-tun verb 3

flamery Sorry let me rephrase.. the openvpn connection works fine on the router, the streaming service doesnt work through it. Its a streaming service that only works from India. Just trying to find what differences there could possibly be visible to the server side they could be checking for.

flamery I have a server in india.. two of them and both have the same issue. hence why I can use it using a VPN application on the phone.
