Yes you can, we have OpenVPN setup so that it accepts connections over port 443/TCP and also the default port 1194/UDP The edit for this is a simple one, open the OpenVPN config file and carry out the following two edits; client fast-io dev tun proto TCP – Change TCP to UDP nobind remote IP-ADDRESS 443 – Change 443 to 1194 route-method exe route-delay 2 resolv-retry infinite persist-key persist-tun auth-user-pass vpnuk-password.txt ca vpnuk-ca.crt tls-auth ta.key 1 comp-lzo verb 3 You will now be able to save the file.
