Can't access website using 8080 port

Post by regger » Tue Dec 11, 2018 2:56 am

I can't access a website using a port different from 80, 443.

I can access: curl portquiz.net
I can not access: curl portquiz.net:8080

Is it possible to modify ovpn to allow 8080 outgoing?

OpenVPN does not filter ports so it is probably a firewall/filter blocking you.

Thanks for your reply. I don't think it is a firewall on my side as:
- I can access curl portquiz.net:8080 without openvpn
- I can access curl portquiz.net:8080 using opevpn with another provider (not vpnbook)

It is only when I use vpnbook I can't access curl portquiz.net:8080, I tried several countries/ports ovpns

Any clue?

Yes, it only happens when I use openvpn and vpnbook. Anyone can reproduce it using the curl command.
