Here's an interesting tidbit I found while googling around about this. I have VyperVpn installed as well. I succesfully connected to Vyper, then did my work vpn and it actually worked, for small values of worked. I did get an RDP to come up. For about 15 seconds, then it died out. Ran a speed test and was getting less than 0.2mbit. When I asked around on the plane, everyone was having issues. So if you have to fly on SW, layer your VPNs, it seems to work. I think it has to be a vpn that runs over 80 or 443 though. Others mentioned trying every major vpn type (Open, etc) with none working. I believe my issues were more general throughput, not actual functionality. Still total BS though. It's fine if you want to filter vpns. You just have to tell me up front, so I can make informed choices. Like who to fly with. ... View more

Well, I'm on a flight right now trying to VPN into work.  Still broken.  Frigging idiots.  I read the TOS before I bought the wifi checking for VPNs specifically.  No mention, so I thought I was good.  In fact, once I bought it, it worked fine on the ground before we took off.  Once in the air though, nothing.  Tunnel connects, packets head out, but nothing ever comes back.  I'm a network engineer and have tried several things including nonstandard ports.  Bupkis.  I'm surprised that it actually does the initial handshake.  There must be packet inspection for data coming in, and none for data leaving.  Not very secure, if you're actually trying to keep people from being malicious.  Anyway, don't buy the wifi if you need vpn service.  I'll be requesting a refund.   9/12/18 ...
