All - TLS
Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60
seconds
This error, shown in the
SurfBouncer log, is usually an indication of no
connectivity to the internet. Before going further
ensure that you are connected and can access web sites
without SurfBouncer enabled. Also read the page on
Ports
and try the solutions offered there first and ensure
your local firewall is not blocking the connection. In
most cases these steps will resolve this error.
In order to achieve maximum
performance SurfBouncer uses the UDP protocol to
transmit data. Occasionally an ISP will block UDP on
their network. We also operate TCP servers to resolve UDP blocking issues for those that have them.
If UDP
works for you do not use the TCP server as performance
over TCP is not as good as over UDP. To switch to the
TCP server do the following:
1 - Make sure the SurfBouncer OpenVPN
connection is disconnected
2 - Download the TCP configuration
file
here. (right click and save link as)
3 - Use this file to replace the
current file in your config directory.
For Windows XP users using the Windows 32
version of SurfBouncer the location of the config
directory is C:\Program Files\SurfBouncer OpenVPN\config.
For Windows Vista users the location is C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\config.
For Mac users download the file and
place in your home directory, library, openvpn folder.
Launch the application as normal and
log in to the server and determine if
the problem is resolved.
If the TCP server works for you then
there is nothing else for you to do. Please note that if
you switch to the TCP server and run any of the port
change config's on the Ports page you will reset back to
the default UDP server.
