Hello. I read that connecting to AirVPN using port UDP 53 instead of UDP 443 is a way to get better speeds, but when I tried to do it today it could not connect to that port on any server and kept giving me an error. This happened on both my phone (connected with Wi-Fi) and PC (connected with ethernet cable) . I contacted my ISP and asked them if they were blocking any ports, and they said they were only blocking ports 80 and 25. I had the ISP unblock these ports just in case that was somehow the issue, but it was not and VPN on UDP 53 continued to not work. I even tried forwarding UDP port 53 to my devices from my router, but that didn't do anything. However, when I turn off Wi-Fi on my phone and connect to my mobile network, UDP 53 works flawlessly. Here is a log of me trying to connect to an AirVPN server on port UDP 53 on my Wi-Fi using my android phone and the Eddie for Android app Eddie Log created on 09 Aug 2018 19:24:41 UTC Eddie for Android 1.0 RC 2 Version Code 5 09 Aug 2018 19:23:52 UTC [debug] NativeMethods.OVPN3.Init succeeded (version=3) 09 Aug 2018 19:23:52 UTC Network is connected to WIFI 09 Aug 2018 19:23:52 UTC [debug] VPNService.NetworkStatusChanged: action='RESUME' 09 Aug 2018 19:23:52 UTC Network is connected to WIFI 09 Aug 2018 19:23:52 UTC [debug] VPNService.NetworkStatusChanged: action='RESUME' 09 Aug 2018 19:24:03 UTC Network is connected to WIFI 09 Aug 2018 19:24:03 UTC [debug] VPNService.NetworkStatusChanged: action='RESUME' 09 Aug 2018 19:24:03 UTC Network is connected to WIFI 09 Aug 2018 19:24:03 UTC [debug] VPNService.NetworkStatusChanged: action='RESUME' 09 Aug 2018 19:24:04 UTC OpenVPN3: ovpn3_client_set_option '1' -
