ANSWERED Connection problems

[djrich 0]

Hi, I've used Air VPN for years with no problems but I've just changed ISP to TalkTalk in the UK and now I have major problems connecting or it will connect with no routing.
I keep getting the following errors in logs:

Blatantly looks like they don't particularly like OpenVPN traffic. Try connecting using OpenVPN over SSL or SSH (with Eddie).

Hi thanks for the reply, I tried that and I'm now getting a different issue, every few minutes it disconnects:

We don't do that here, this exists for future reference now.
