Strange Problem

Hey Guys,

I am now living for a few months in Romania, in the Erasmus camp.

I have here an internet connection, but it is filtered. I cant connect to my panels with xxx.xxx.xxx:port ... I cant connect to it over ssh, vpn isnt connecting.

Can you give me some hints to find a good solution? Except leaving the country :D

  • Get a local 3G/4G sim card.

  • Is port 443 (SSL/HTTPS) unblocked? If yes, you can setup an OpenVPN server with it listening on port 443.

    I did a test( on google: port scanner) it says 443 is not open, but I can login to paypal/online banking. so 443 is open?

  • Try to let your OpenVPN server (if you have one) run on port 443

    Yep. Just change it at the config file (located at /etc/openvpn)

  • Emre,

    You can install Softether or any other VPN on a VPS.
    Then connect to your VPN. IF port 443 is accessible with port 443 or if it's not with 80 (Assuming no web server is running there)

    It should work.
    While I was in the army the army computers were being filtered and I was able to overcome the filter this way. (Port 80 in my case)

    ssh tunnel, easy with "bitwise ssh client"... and use "proxifier" for tuning (change your ssh port to 80 or 443)

    Check my OpenVPN NAT tutorial just set ports to 443 instead

    thanks, so my config file lookes like this:
    ...

    Which TCP/UDP port should OpenVPN listen on?

    If you want to run multiple OpenVPN instances

    on the same machine, use a different port

    number for each one. You will need to

    open up this port on your firewall.

    port 443
    ...

    this should be fine. I am still connecting to my vpn over my 3g sim card and the openvpn logfile says:

    Sun Feb 15 21:15:46 2015 MANAGEMENT: Client connected from [AF_INET]127.0.0.1:25340

    why am I not connecting over 443?? :(

  • Have you restarted the OpenVPN server, plus have you also edited the .ovpn config file on your computer/device?

    ok I did now, but I cant connect to the vpn :(

  • @emre22 can you tell me wich provider ???

    my vpn runs on berihoster.ru

  • Why use OpenVPN when a simple command like "ssh -f -N -D 0.0.0.0:1080 localhost" will put you up and running?

  • So guys just give me a link to a tutorial, which will allow me to use apps like putty,... :(

  • MaouniqueMaounique Host Rep, Veteran

    If the filtering is so bad, just get a local sim for a few Eur, there are some which give you 2 GB as an option, it should last months for putty only.
    Alternatively, set your ssh port for your VM on 443, then use something like http://board.prometeus.net/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=828
    That is, if you do not like the putty ssh client and you are stuck on windows. Otherwise, what @Blanoz said shoud work, except you will need to change port.
