Hello,

Yes, your correct, TalkTalk do not block VPN connections, nor does Sky, but it’s clear their WAN [Automatic IP rather than PPPoE] won’t support a continuous OpenVPN connection beyond the IP renewal period they set, 450s or 1797s [7.5 minutes or 30 minutes] respectively as shown above.

I am no expert, but I am guessing the WAN communication type PPPoE may reset once a day [early hours, server restart, etc.], or if not on router reboots, hence I never had [or have noticed] this problem while with BT.

For your info IPv6 is disabled.

DNS may introduce lag/poor response time/no internet [no address translation], etc, but this is not what I am seeing or asking above, I am currently using NordVPN DNS, not the best, I know, but its stable from experience and can be counted on for working reliably with their OpenVPN service.

Its incredibly frustrating, having changed ISP to have to change again :(.
