file transfer with wget and sftp over vpn fails, ssh and ping works on a raspberry pi

0

I have a raspberry pi that has a vpn connection to a server (OpenVPN on port 1194 udp), I can ssh into the raspberry pi through the VPN and also can ping it successfully, however I cannot transfer any files that are larger than 800bytes using wget or sftp. Wget hangs at 0% after the initial requests (Successfully gets the file length). SFTP creates the file with 0 length and just the file name. I can send files to other computers in the vpn network using wget and sftp so the vpn network probably is not the problem (The other computers are not raspberry pis). I also tried different network interfaces as well (LTE on USB, Wlan) both resulted the same behavior.

I also tried binding ip addresses while using wget: the requesting client binded to its own vpn ip the server binded to its own vpn ip

However the result was the same wget hangs at 0% after receiving the meta data.

What else should I look for? Why would my sftp and wget connections fail on a raspberry pi but work on other devices?
