Reliable VPN connection when using GSM

Post by LiamKH » Thu Apr 08, 2021 2:16 pm

Hi everyone,

I am currently using hardware that is running OpenVPN via a GSM connection.

The issue, is that certain areas where I use this hardware, can have poor/low quality signal strength (therefore low bandwidth availability).

Has anyone here faced a similar issue? If so, are there any additional settings that I can confgure within OpenVPN that will allow me to achieve a more stable/reliable connection to these devices (physical networking infrastructure is regrettably not an option in these areas)?

Thanks in advance.

Nothing OpenVPN can do about that.

Depending on your GSM device, using a yagi antenna could help.
