TCP recv error: Connection reset by peer

Hello,

We are using a Cyberoam Firewall Client at our Location. We did the setup for Ope VPn Connect and the Open VPN Connect is working fine when we are in home country location but when we try to use the same in country like China the Open VPN Connect App in Android is not working. After analysing the Log file we found that it is throwing an error as "TCP recv Error: Connection Reset by Peer". Then it again tries to reconnect but is not being successful.

Can you please let us know how we can solve this problem so that our personal VPN works in country like china.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Have you heard of the "Great Firewall of China" ?

From the details you have posted:

either:
  • the client has been disconnected deliberately by the user ..
  • or some equipment is malfunctioning ..
  • or the connection has been forcibly terminated by an intermediate system ..

If the latter then there is not much (anything) you can do about it.

This article claims it is possible to circumvent internet censorship:

But .. if you understand how these despotic governments impose such censorship
then you will understand how unlikely it is that you can out-wit them.
