I stand corrected

I always thought with my OpenVPN server running on port 443 I can bypass any proxy or firewall allowing me to connect to HTTPS sites. Well, it seems like at this place there is some transparent proxy in place which actually inspects the TLS/SSL handshake and OpenVPN doesn’t exactly behave like HTTPS. Jabber works though, so it seems like I’ve got to find a way to encapsulate the VPN in a real TLS stream or something. Anybody an idea?
