OpenVPN on Hotel Wifi: Connects but cannot browse anything -- Help Pls
The hotel's ISP is detecting OpenVPN traffic and blocking them. Switching to a non-standard port, or TCP/443 might work if their filter is laughably simple, but OpenVPN isn't really designed to avoid detection. If you can set up Outline in your server it might work, if not, just give up and stick with ExpressVPN, they use Lightway Core, a custom open source protocol with built-in obfuscation.

ExpressVPN open-sources Lightway: a modern VPN protocol
We have released a reference implementation that uses Lightway Core to create both a client and a server. It can be found here:
https://github.com/expressvpn/lightway-laser
Lightway Core is designed specifically to be embeddable and to work well on any platform without making assumptions about how that platform works (i.e. OpenVPN assumes a tun-like device).
The comparison to WolfSSL is a good one because it was inspired by their library's design. As WolfSSL is to SSL, Lightway Core is to VPN tunnels. Just like WolfSSL, how you use Lightway Core is really up to you.
For example, if you wanted to create a VPN that connects over Google Sheets or uses DNS messages, you’d be able to do that easily with Lightway Core.
