Running

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -d <<VPN.IP.ADDRESS>> --dport 1194 --tcp-flags RST RST -j DROP

seemed to help my vpn work when using from my mobile device behind the (great) firewall.

I did this after reading this article about vpns and t-mobile: https://grepular.com/Punching_through_The_Great_Firewall_of_TMobile

Anyway, though it might be something you might want to add to the script. Don't think it should have adverse side effects but not sure.

Also I'm guessing that command should be changed to port 500 is that's what it's running from.

This looks very specific so probably not something I would merge now because it probably has side effects. I will keep this open though so other people can find it and give this a try.

If more people report it's useful and can verify it has no side effect we can merge it sometime later.

Thanks for sharing!
