Well, the problem is, the service I'm using works faster with TCP and uses port 443. Otherwise that idea would work perfectly.
BTW, it's generally not a good idea to run a VPN over TCP, unless necessary. This is because TCP uses flow control and with TCP running on top of TCP, you may confuse the flow control which will cause a slow down. UDP has behaviour similar to bare Ethernet so this problem doesn't arise.
Surprisingly, everyone says that UDP should work better for openvpn, I've also heard about packet size mismatch which may bring another breakdown of packets, and so on. But speedtest constantly shows much much better result on TCP than on UDP... -- Regards, Stas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
