How to make sure OpenVPN client is using port 443 on iOS.
I have been playing around OpenVPN on Orbi. I have everything working using the OpenVPN client on my iOS device. The question I have is setting up the port I want to use. My goal is to connect to Orbi on port 443 when I am not on my home network.
Is this a matter of just having port forwarding on 443 or does this have to do with the TUN and TAP mode service? I have been trying to understand what TUN and TAP are but I just get confused.
Again, I can connect to vpn but I want to make sure I use a specific port. As you can guess, I am trying to use my home internet when on a blocked network when I am away.
Thanks for any help you can provided.

I got mine working by port forwarding from my ADSL router to my Orbi. I set up the Orbi to use TUN,TCP, and port 444 (it doesn't work on port 443). To use port 443 from the internet I port-forwarded port 443 at my ADSL router to port 444 at the Orbi's IP address.
Hope that helps...
