You will need to configure OpenVPN to use TCP as Tor doesn't support UDP connections. It doesn't sound like you need a high level of anonymity, and that you're just trying to bypass network blocks, so you might get better performance/reliability by dropping the default circuit length from 3 nodes to 2 nodes. Instructions for doing this in Ubuntu can be found here: https://grepular.com/Tor_Circuits_with_Two_Hops_on_Ubuntu Also, it might be a good idea to select a port for OpenVPN that is in the default "LongLivedPorts" list. From the man page: "LongLivedPorts PORTS - A list of ports for services that tend to have long-running connections (e.g. chat and interactive shells). Circuits for streams that use these ports will contain only high-uptime nodes, to reduce the chance that a node will go down before the stream is finished. (Default: 21, 22, 706, 1863, 5050, 5190, 5222, 5223, 6523, 6667, 6697, 8300)" -- Mike Cardwell https://grepular.com/ https://twitter.com/mickeyc Professional http://cardwellit.com/ http://linkedin.com/in/mikecardwell PGP.mit.edu 0018461F/35BC AF1D 3AA2 1F84 3DC3 B0CF 70A5 F512 0018 461F
