Question
OpenVPN no longer works, is it blocked?

Asked by ahmadx87
I’ve been using OpenVPN hosted on my droplet successfully for several months. But recently it won’t connect. At first I guessed maybe my ISP has blocked all OpenVPN connections, but I tested it on other servers and it’s working. So I think maybe Digital Ocean has blocked OpenVPN connection from the country I live in.
How can I find out which is the case? Has it been blocked by my ISP or Digital Ocean?

Hi there @ahmadx87,
What I could suggest is running a traceroute or an MTR from your PC to the server. That way you will be able to check where exactly the connection is being lost.
