hello everyone,
i am trying to connect the openvpn client of a laptop to the server
but i fail miserably and googling about it does not help..
first of let me state that the client is verified to work properly,
since i have been able to connect when connecting to the server
through a wireless connection, and the 56k internal modem of the
laptop... yet when i use as a modem, a sub connected GPRS modem from my mobile phone
it fails to connect....
the mobile phone provider (MSP) is offering web services through a
proxy server.... i use the necessary options in openvpn config
file...
note also that using wvdial to connect works correctly and if manually add the proxy address and port to say firefox, i get to surf the web...
the connecting log appears as :

the MSP's proxy is obviously the 192.168.200.10:9401.... but what is this

' recv_line: TCP port read timeout expired: Operation now in progress
(errno=115)'

?????
note that the MSP is very strict on the use of its internet services
and has blocked access to all ports but 53 (i presume), 80 and 443
(verified), i havent run a port scan though for other ports too. is it
possible it can 'sniff' openvpn traffic (which i transmit through port
TCP 443) and block it???
the server config file is
Quote:
port 443
proto tcp
dev tun
ca /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/ca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/server.crt
key /etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/server.key # This file should be kept secret

any ideas that might be slipping my mind and i could use to connect?
