Verizon Blocking VPN on 4G?

Just switched to Verizon. I use OpenVPN for internet. However, when using 4G, the connection is lost as soon as there is any data transmission. Works fine over WiFi.

Is Verizon blocking VPN? I have searched and found old threads referring to Verizon restricting NAT. Is this still the case? If so, is there a work around?

Thanks

I use Cisco AnyConnect over the LTE network all the time. No problems here.

What phone/OS Version are you running? or is this via a Data Card?

I use an L2TP/IPSec VPN over Verizon 4G LTE on a regular basis and have zero issues.

I can use OpenVPN over any of the data networks with no issues: CDMA2000, EDGE, EVDO, eHRPD, or LTE.

They are ... sort of.

Enable NAT-T on both sides of your VPN. It'll work like a champ then.

I've successfully done this with a Galaxy S4 and a Note4 with both m0n0wall and pfSense via IPSec.
