Hey guys I hope someone could help with this issue ive been having. Im trying to connect to play DCUO from work over a VPN (WorkNet > VPN > DCUO) connection on a VPS server, but for some reason when connecting to DCUO from work while connected to my vpn server the game starts to load it will time out and disconnect me. Now I immediately thought it was the network at my workplace but when I try it at home I have the same problem when trying to connect (HomeNet > VPN > DCUO) through VPN. From home I can connect fine (no VPN). So then I proceeded to setup OpenVpn on my pfsense box at home, mind you its not the fastest connection but it will help with trying firgure out this problem. After setting that up I was able to establish a connection (WorkNet > HomeVPN > DCUO) get on the net and all that good stuff. Fired up DCUO and I am having the exact same issue. I have tried several different TCP/UDP ports and still no dice and setting all iptables rules to accept. So now I look to you guys :] below are my iptables rules and some links to some wireshark caps of successful home connections and unsuccessful VPN connections. Thanks to everyone on this form in advance.

iptables script
----------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

PUB="173.234.50.101"

iptables -A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

iptables -A FORWARD -s 10.8.0.0/24 -j ACCEPT

#iptables -A FORWARD -j REJECT

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -j SNAT --to $PUB

iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT

iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT

Sorry for the late response. No squid proxy setup just openvpn. I posted to the DCUO forum and according to them they dont allow vpn..

"customers in the past have tried using them to circumvent international purchasing policies, and even IP bans on their accounts. There is no way I know of to prevent what you're describing when connecting via VPN."
