Hello!

The problem may be caused by high latency or elevated packets loss. Try to connect on a TCP port instead of UDP.

Kind regards

Hello!

It depends on the quality line of your ISP, there\'s not much we can do if you can\'t use TCP. Try changing connection server and see if it gets better. Each server is on a different datacenter, so it\'s worth to give them all a try.

Kind regards

is there no solution to this problem except changing to tcp

Hello!

The other solution would be to get a better connection line. The problem is caused by loss of packets which can\'t be corrected by UDP, as it is designed specifically NOT to handle at all this problem. If you are under a freedom of expression hostile regime, feel free to contact Telecomix to discuss and use tools against censorship and to improve your security.

Hello!

If your ISP follows this behaviour under government orders, the answer is yes. To contact Telecomix please read the following post:

'>https://airvpn.org/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=55&func=view&catid=3&id=459#459>

However, if your ISP blocked all TCP ports, you could not have an Internet access, so there\'s something strange in your description.

Kind regards

use this hotfix.it will surely help you.use this for windows 7

Windows6.1-KB925681-x86.msu - 202.2 Kb

use this if you are having windows xp

1298449584-nikhil1994-WindowsXP-KB925681-x86-ENU_exe.exe - 490.3 Kb

without this hotfix there is always chance of backtrack error.that\'s why it\'s important to enable automatic updates.with this hotfix no disconnections.

hey nikhil bro after installing the hotfix i am getting the same error Replay-window backtrack occurred

plz provide any other solution

To anyone stumbling upon this page:

 

You can update an .ovpn file (in case of UDP only) by including "replay-window 512 15" without quotes.

 

According to the OpenVPN Manual:

 

--replay-window n [t] ==> By default n  (the window size) is 64 (which is the IPSec default) and t is 15 seconds.

 

I personally check 512 packets in the same default time, which according to Cisco "has no impact on throughput and security. The impact on memory is insignificant because only an extra 128 bytes per incoming IPsec SA is needed to store the sequence number on the decryptor".

[OpenSourcerer 1359]

"increasing the replay window may be a very bad idea if it is a real replay attack"

 

And please note that Cisco is talking about IPsec, not OpenVPN.
