Unable to access VPN from public wifi.

[Zaroad 26]

Hi, I use a public AP which I believe it only allows http and https traffic because I am unable to connect to any VPN. I tried all ports on TCP and UDP and OpenVPN over SSH (failed to connect to ssh).

I don't know how to setup OpenVPN over SSL on Android so that's because I didn't try it yet. Any suggestions?

 

P.D: airvpn.org is blocked but airdns.org isn't. My ovpn has its server's IP on it. The AP is made by Cisco (who helped China to make the GFC). PPTP is also blocked.

 

Greetings.

Do the ovpn configs have resolved hosts in them?  if not, the DNS request is probably being blocked.

Of course. However *.airdns.org is not blocked.

I think there are two scenarios here:

1. the AP blocks on a protocol basis (anything other than HTTP/TLS/DNS on 80/443/53)
2. the AP blocks AirVPN entry IPs. This is certainly possible, but somewhat unlikely IMHO

Unless #2 is the case, you should be able to use OpenVPN over SSL. Are you able to do so on platforms other than Android?
I have successfully tinkered with stunnel on Android: it's a bit fiddly to set up but definitely doable. I'll provide a tutorial soon (later this day or tomorrow). edit: see below
