The reason being the government has made the internet accessable only after entering a name and passcode. However the software was written specifically for Windows. Any other OS cannot access the internet.
Next question should be: What protocol does this close source software implement? Is this a standardized (PPPoA or PPPoE (Point To Point Protocol over Ethernet)) protocol? If not maybe somebody reverse-engineered protocol and written FOSS implementation for Unix-like operating systems?

Aside from that I see that sometimes OpenBSD TCP connections hang for a few seconds, when I tell that I want or don't want to use some network interface (I mean ifconfig <interface> up or down). Probably this is related to ongoing modernization of the OpenBSD network stack. Some software uses TCP as IPC (inter-process communication), but instead it should use Unix domain socket provided network communication is not required.
