Connection to TWC webmail with OpenVPN from Android Phone

[wintersnow 5]

I can connect to and log into Time Warner's Roadrunner webmail server when connected to one of AirVPN's US servers through OpenVPN from my iOS tablet (now on iOS 10, never had a problem with earlier versions either), but can't when running the same config on my Android phone.  I can log in to every other site on the phone through the AirVPN server/OpenVPN connection, just not Roadrunner's webmail.

 

I'm wondering if there is some setting I need to tweak on the Android phone? 

 

I'm running:

Android - 4.4.2

Baseband - M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190084

Kernel - 3.4.0

Build - KOT491.080120g

Software - D80120g

 

Thanks for any help.

OpenVPN logs would be helpful. Please paste them here from line 1 into spoiler tags, how-to in my signature.

Thanks, giganerd.

 

Here's the log. It records me failing to log into Time Warner's webmail server,

succeeding in logging into news.google.com and into a non-Time Warner server

where I have an email account.

 

Thanks for your help.

What information does ipleak.net reveal on your iOS tablet and on Android? I believe that Roadrunner has blocked the US server in question and that one of the devices is not correctly routed through AirVPN.

I noticed that I was using two different AirVPN servers, both located in Chicago. alrischa was working on ios and alkaid was not working on android. So I added the alrischa profile to my android phone and was able to log into my Time Warner's webmail account using it.

 

I also added the alkaid profile to my iPad and was not able to log into my Time Warner webmail account.

 

It seems as if the problem is with the alkaid server or the configuration AirVPN is generating for it and there's nothing more I can do on my end to help diagnose it? if you think running the IP leak test would be helpful to AirVPN, please let me know and I will run it in the next day or so.

 

Thanks very much for your help.

Grab the URL and enter it into the route checker. If it fails on Alkaid, it's temporarily not available from there.

We found out you used two different servers, so we don't need that.

Alkaid failed, not surprisingly.  I didn't know about the route checker.  I tend to learn things as problems occur.  Thank you for teaching me and helping me troubleshoot this issue.
