Handshake for peer did not complete after 5 seconds

[HermanMunster107 0]

Hello. I am getting an usual amount of these errors in my logs in the past 24 hours to the point where I don't have a stable VPN connection anymore. The initial connection is clean but subsequent handshakes timeout. Any insight as how to proceed to solve/diagnose this would be greatly appreciated!

Hello.

It seems you are also living under the firewall. Your logs are the same as WireGuard's logs in China now, and they are identified and blocked by the firewall.

Please try the advanced obfuscation options. AirVPN offers: OpenVPN over SSH, SSL, TOR and AmneziaWG. The AmneziaWG option is currently in the testing phase. For detailed usage instructions, please find tutorials on the AirVPN website. If you are using the eddie client on your computer, you can uncheck "Automatic" and select a specific obfuscated protocol in Settings - Protocols.
