OpenVPN via Public Hotspot using UDP

Post by mooxle » Tue Oct 11, 2016 1:37 pm

All,

just setup a OPENVPN server at home.

While trying to connect remotely using a public hotspot service (Deutsche Telekom), i was able to establish a connection to my server but no traffic is being routed through the tunnel afterwards.

I configured the server using UDP and read some other posts, that TCP seems to be a workaround.

But what is causing that traffic is not routed while the connection can be established? I conclude that a Firewall is not blocking the UDP port, through

Cheers, Max

You can also have a look at some of the newer wiki posts, which hopefully is not so daunting as the good old howto.

I recommend the "Good old" Howto .. It taught me almost everything I know about openvpn .. along with Google.
