No connection at school (OpenVPN mobile)

[supermagma 0]

While being at school, I switch on the WiFi and open up my OpenVPN app (I'm running Android 5.0.2) and every time I attempt to connect, it gets stuck at "waiting for server" on an infinite loop. If I let it go for longer than ten seconds, I am promptly kicked off the school WiFi.

 

Right before showing the "waiting for server" loop, it shows this for a couple of seconds:

 

"Unknown OpenVPN event occurred : Transport error on 'america.vpn.airdns.org: NETWORK_RECV_ERROR"

 

I have already tried configs on TCP port 443 and UDP port 53 - it has the same result.

 

I've bought several VPNs and spent $30 in the past week and they've all had the same issue and I'm about ready to give up.

 

Hoping someone can help

Try connecting using SSL tunnel.

Here you have a guide about how to configure it on Android:

Is there a similar way to use SSL Tunnel on a jailbroken iPhone?

first you'll need to create configs with resolved hosts so that you don't get blocked straight away at DNS resolution.

I've followed the instructions word by word but it doesn't seem to be working.
