By pass China Restriction?

[killmasta93]

Hi,
I was wondering if someone else has had this dilemma before? I have a user traveling to china and the openVPN wont  connect as if the Chinese lSP blocks it, I know that the VPN worked because the user worked previously before arriving in china. So i created another OpenVPN route but with port 443 UDP thinking it wont block it and no luck. Would there be a way to bypass this block?

Thank you

Thanks for the reply, been searching everything as I have not seen anyone else confirm a workaround, in my case i need the user to connect to the OpenVPN and access the Shares, as i do no need a external provider of VPN service just need to connect to the VPN of my server

Thank you

You read that: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=80663.msg680322#msg680322 ?
China now blocks OpenVPN otherwise.

err, this:@karla:

Using OpenVPN over SSH is the most suitable way to conceal you connection and be able to get free access to any blocked content http://www.vpnfaqs.com/2015/06/openvpn-china-conceal-connection-now/  China Firewall can't detect OpenVPN protocol so you can browse normally as you are located outside China.

and jimp's follow up.

After many hours of trail and error finally figured it out changed port 25745 UDP and it worked, like they say "where there's a will there's a way"
