#260403 - 14/07/2005 14:48 OpenVPN + Shorewall
rob carpal tunnel Registered: 21/05/1999 Posts: 5335 Loc: Cambridge UK	I've installed OpenVPN on a Debian box using Shorewall, with connections coming from Windows hosts. I can connect and authenticate but no traffic will route. After some hours of playing I'm not sure why - it looks like a firewall and/or routing problem. Are there any networking experts out there that might be able to help? I'm happy to pay for some consultancy. Thanks Rob

I followed that HowTo pretty much to the letter, except that I'm not running ShoreWall on the clients (but Windows firewall is disabled for the tunnel). I have a rule to route from the VPN to the local network but nonetheless Shorewall appears to be throwing out all such traffic. Rob

Thanks Andy, your help would have been much appreciated, but I have a friend visiting this weekend and I suspect that VPN fixing wouldn't go down that well (no accounting for taste). Rob
