AT&T/McDonald's Wifi Connection Issues

[Soupcan Sam Hootkins 13]

Hey, all.

I've ran into an issue where I can't seem to connect to the VPN using wifi at McDonald's, which also uses AT&T wifi, but I've been able to connect to the VPN servers using  my home wifi and another coffee shops wifi. Does anyone know why this might be? I've included the log if anyone cares to take a look at it.

Thank you,

Kevin

Switched protocol from "auto" to SLL Port 443 and it was able to connect. Mullvad was able to connect with UDP on port 1300. What is going wrong!?!

This appears several times in your logs, so it seems that those places are blocking the VPN have you tried different protocols? I hear the SSH is good for these blocks.

While I do highly reccomend using SSH or SSL whenever you can (best chance of getting through no matter where you are) I would reccomend that you go into your clients advanced setting and untick the "check if the tunnel effectively works" option. I know it sounds dangerous, but when my client went on an endless loop on public wifi this solved my problem. My machine has wireshark installed so I was able to verify that my packets were going through the tunnel correctly. My guess is that the client made the connection to the server but was unable to verify the routes for some unknown reason although I would like someone to issue a more educated response in case there are details that I am likely missing

The same thing happens to me on Airplane Wi-Fi, just use protocol SSL443 and it should work.
