Thanks for the description, @gary Can you please explain why it didn’t work with OpenVPN 3.3? It didn’t work for me on 3.3.4, nor on 2.7.1. I have already set up an SSH connection successfully, and I was able to connect to the server for VPN using OpenVPN connect (I have a raspberry pi and a pivpn as a VPN server) on UDP 1194, and the server logged that I have successfully signed in to the VPN service, but then my PC started to send packages at a rate higher than my ISP’s upload speed (I guess some internal loop has been created) and I cannot reach any webpage then. Remote.it has been set up, it uses 127.0.0.1:33002, and I modified the `.ovpn` config file accordingly (see below). The VPN server’s log is also attached. Is it possible that the problem lies in the config modification the VPN server sends back? > `PUSH_REPLY,dhcp-option DNS 9.9.9.9,dhcp-option DNS 149.112.112.112,block-outside-dns,redirect-gateway def1,route-gateway 10.8.0.1,topology subnet,ping 15,ping-restart 120,ifconfig 10.8.0.4 255.255.255.0,peer-id 1,cipher AES-256-GCM` It didn’t work with tcp either. I reinstalled pivpn to use tcp instead of udp, used the default port 443, recreated the vpn config files, added the right remote.it service, connected to the remote.it service, and I was able to connect to the vpn server (according to the server log), however, I was not able to open any webpage.
