Client is authenticated but not able to browse HTTPS sites #423

My Coovachilli installation is working fine, The uamService and the configs okay but I am having a challenge. When a client connects, the normal behavior occurs and they are redirected to a page after which they are authed successfully but if they try facebook.com, they are getting a connection was reset.

If we try http sites without SSL all is browsing fine.

The funniest thing is that Youtube is browsing fine and on the address bar, I can see the SSL certificate signature stream is okay and data is counting fine.

Where could I be going wrong? Previously it was working okay this problem just came out of nowhere

Solved the issue.

After sometime I noted the ubuntu server I am using was having two tun interfaces(tun0,tun1), of which both of them were captured by coova-chilli. I eventually wrote a small bash script to drop the extran tun interfaces and restart coovachilli and since then all is working okay. My server is based on Google Cloud Mini platform.
