I use OpenVPN, but UDP is blocked




All UDP ports are blocked. This prevents OpenVPN from working.

Solution

  • We offer TCP versions of each server. This allows uses who cannot use the normal (UDP) connections to connect.
  • The TCP versions connection use port 443, normally used by secure websites. Essentially the VPN connection will be masqueraded as if you were browsing a secure website.

]Optional: proxy users

  • You will have to manually edit one of the TCP configuration files or ask our support staff to do this for you.
  • In the Windows client you can simple select one of the server and click "Edit Config" to reveal the config file.
  • In the TCP configuration file, replace:
remote ovpg.12vpn.com 443 tcp

with

remote ovpg.12vpn.com 443 tcp
http-proxy 192.168.1.1 8080
http-proxy-retry
  • The values behind "remote" may be different, depending on the server you select. Above values are for the "Automatic" server.
  • Make sure to replace 192.168.1.1 with the address of your proxy and 8080 with its port. These values can only be provided by your IT department or ISP.
