Hi Adam, It sounds like you want Viscosity to connect through your school's proxy to your pfSense box? If so, it should be easy enough to accomplish. Firstly, on your pfSense box you'll need to tell OpenVPN to use port 443 (instead of the default which is 1194), as otherwise the proxy will probably ...

Hi Col,
You'll need to have a play with the "Ping" and "Ping-restart" fields, which are under the Options tab when editing your connection in Viscosity. For example, try setting a Ping value of 10, and a Ping-restart value of 3600.
Cheers,
James

Hi Fsare, Is this a TAP based or a TUN based connection? If the IP address is being pushed out via OpenVPN make sure you have the "Pull Options" checkbox is ticked (under the Options tab when editing your connection). If it is TAP based, try toggling the "Enable DHCP" option unde...

Hi suzerain, It sounds like a DNS issue to me. Make sure you are using the latest version of Viscosity (1.0.7) as it automatically flushes the DNS cache upon connecting/disconnecting. You should also make sure you have DNS support enabled for your connection (under the General tab when editing your ...

Have there been any progress on the server version of Viscosity? Or will I have to learn how to configure OpenVPN the "hard" way? A lot of progress has been made and we're pretty excited about how it is looking. However we're still not comfortable at releasing a public beta version at thi...

Hi Slawek, Do you know if you are using a bridged TAP connection the IP needs to be assigned by an actual DHCP server, or whether OpenVPN is taking care of IP assignment by emulating DHCP? If it is the former, you may need to tick the "Enable DHCP" checkbox under the General tab when editi...

The following post on the forums has some suggestions to run through: http://www.viscosityvpn.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=303#p303 If you are attem...

Hi Simon, It is likely that the server is setting the "Send all traffic over the VPN connection" (i.e. the default route), overriding your local setting in Viscosity. Try following the same suggestions outlined in this post for how to get around this: http://www.viscosityvpn.com/forum/view...

I'd recommend posting your server configuration on the OpenVPN mailing list, as they should be able to point you in the right direction.

So it is most likely is a routing problem. I've used netstat, perhaps you can make sense of it? The VPS's IP is 74.117.59.138. The routing table on your Mac looks fine. The problem appears to be at your server's end - take a look at the guides posted above for setting up NAT on your server. Cheers,...
