Hi,

 

My school blocked some sites and social media on their network and i'm trying to connect to OpenVPN that is running on my VPS.

I set the port to TCP 443 but when i'm on the school network I can't connect to the VPN.

Anyone knows how my school is blocking the VPN?

If they are blocking it, they'd be blocking outgoing traffic to the IP address of the server hosting the VPN you're trying to connect to.

 

Perhaps try a different VPN server (or don't use one at all).

I can access the admin control interface via the same IP address so I don't think they are blocking it.
