SSL Errors when Accessing Cloudflare Sites through Wireguard VPN
I'm running Pi-hole, PiVPN, and Unbound on an ARM Compute Instance from Oracle Cloud. My client is a Windows machine behind CGNAT. When connected to PiVPN, I'm experiencing issues accessing websites that are hosted behind Cloudflare (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude AI, Pluralsight). On Chromium-based browsers, these websites return either ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR or ERR_QUIC_PROTOCOL_ERROR. On Firefox and its forks, the same websites return SSL_ERROR_RX_MALFORMED_SERVER_HELLO.
In my attempt to diagnose the root cause of this issue, I uninstalled Pi-hole, PiVPN, and Unbound completely. Then I used wireguard-install to create a Wireguard server. After connecting to the server, I tried to access those websites, but they all returned the same error. I am at a loss as to what to do next. Since I don't have much knowledge in diagnosing SSL errors or network-related issues, any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Can you access non AI focused websites like Cloudflare homepage and Cloudflare blog website? Maybe oracle blocks AI websites.
Nope
I forgot to mention that I already tried adjusting the MTU value from 1420 down to 1280, but it didn't resolve the issue. When I attempted to go lower, the WireGuard app for Windows displayed the following error:
Unable to configure adapter network settings.UDP 443 allowed on firewall?
Yep
Firewall rules:
I saw the same error from user reports.
do you have an anti-virus installed?
also, maybe providers tries to block vpn
Nope, I'm not using any anti-virus suite and when I tried Cloudflare WARP tunnel via the WireGuard client (generated using wgcf), the websites loaded normally.
Maybe it's because wireguard usually changes your DNS? You could try removing that from the config.
Do non-CF websites like google.com work fine with https?
It looks like the problem wasn't related to WireGuard or Oracle's network. It was caused by GoodbyeDPI running on my Windows machine.
could you pls tell how to disable/fix that goodbyedpi. I'm also getting same error while browsing few sites.
There should be a
service_remove.cmdscript inside the GoodbyeDPI folder.
