At least in the forums, there's currently no solution known. Maybe this post by Mr. amnesty can help.

Also with non Canadian ones?

Also with non Canadian ones?

Yes with many different servers.  

 

For some reason Canada seems to be a big favorite for Recommended Server regardless of whether I am in California, Virginia, Germany, France, etc..

I tried every udp and tcp port in Eddie and none of them worked.

 

When one changes the preferences in Eddie to choose a different port must one reboot or shutdown/restart eddie?  I tried that a few times and, when going through every choice, sometimes did not shut down/restart in between.  But in any case nothing worked....

So I just tried choosing Port 443 under SSL Tunnel AND IT WORKED!

 

There is a description in the Help link but is it strange that a hotel would require this choice to get around whatever they have blocked.  Or no?  The Eddie help file says to use this option when "OpenVPN connections are disrupted by your ISP".

 

Help file warns of a performance hit but I see none.

So can anyone explain why choosing Port 443 under SSL Tunnel worked and nothing else did?  I'm in a tiny hotel in southern France, not some corporate behemoth!

 

I'd really like to understand this better.  Also is there a tool that might have hinted at this choice as the only one not being blocked?  Protocol TCP Port 443 did not work.  Port 443 under SSL Tunnel did.

Hello!

 

OpenVPN puts additional information in the headers for purposes of packets re-ordering. This represents a typical fingerprint which makes OpenVPN traffic recognizable with proper header analysis. When you tunnel OpenVPN over stunnel you encrypt OpenVPN packets headers and your traffic is pure SSL/TLS.

 

Kind regards
