I have heard of the "TCP over TCP" issue but have not had any bad
experiences so far. I am currently using both TCP and UDP-based VPN
systems and while the TCP-based one is a bit slower, it still seems
very stable for applications such as Terminal Services, FTP,
http(s), etc.
I do notice problems with some apps (FTP for example) if I'm trying
to use a TCP-based connection over a satellite link - lot of TCP
RSTs and "Zero Window"-type errors in the sniff though on some
satellite systems even UDP-based tunnels don't seem to work very
well for anything other than low bandwidth applications.
Same here. I use OpenVPN with my laptop as the client. I chose to use
TCP over port 443, rather than the default UDP so I'd have no
NAT/firewall issues as I move around from network to network. Works like
a charm. I don't deny it's probably inefficient, but it's not noticably
so. Not to me anyhow.
