The thing is though, im not trying to hide the fact I am on OpenVPN. Simple inspection of the handshake tells you EXACTLY what it is. But thats generally not the issue. The issue is many will simply block UDP or the default port 1194 or basically anything other than a handful of outbound ports, of which 443 outbound is almost never actually blocked for obvious reasons. In fact I cant think of a single time I havent been able to use that VPN, even when my normal road-warrior profile to my house IS blocked. Either way there are ways are ways to mask the fact that its clearly OpenVPN that if your issue is nation-states or things like the Great Firewall like Obfsproxy, but even then, something like Mullvad would be called for since you are likely going to need an array of endpoints. Im just trying to ensure my traffic is running through a trusted source until the point that its supposed to him the open internet. Things like DNS filtering are getting more pervasive. For me that means I want to know the endpoint until I am ready for it to egress. I have also had this setup for years at this point. Before tailscale or even hearing of things like mullvad. But I work in IT, so its one of those things that makes others that dont work in tech look at me funny if they see it.
