TLS Error

Hello everyone,

I just recently received Avast! Secure Line, and I noticed a peculiar thing. I cannot connect to any servers within my country (United States) via the OpenVPN protocol. It works on all other servers though. I get this error when trying to connect to a server is the US:

TLS Error: TLS key negotiation failed to occur within 60 seconds (check your network connectivity)

Does anybody know why this is happening?

Also, how do I forward ports through Secure Line?
