Hybrid VPN not connecting to far away destinations - XR500

[Fra_Circa]

Hello, i've been using my xr500 and specificly the hybrid vpn feature for a few months now. Recently i wanted to change the location i usually use (isreal) connecting perfectly fine to someting far away (cambodia). Using my identifications and openvpn config files as usual it wouldn't connect (stays in connrcting but never achieves connection). So i got back on israel and it connected fine, tested germany and fine as well. Wanted to try a new destination far away (im from france) like south africa and it stayed in connecting same as cambodia. It seems like i can connect the hybrid vpn to far away destinations which is weird. Any ideas anyone ?

If its too far away then it is likely timing out so you will need to connect to a server slightly closer for it to work
