Hmm well firstly try and terminate the VPN either immediatly prior to the
firewall, or preferably on its own segment of the firewall. You don't want
it to go straight through since it is a tunnel (think someone else said
that too).

If you are doing what I think you are doing (running the VPN on the same
linux box as the firewall) then it will be terminating at the firewall and
you should be able to filter it normally. 

Probably didn't help since the ports you open depend on the type of VPN you
are using.. try not to use the MS one though.. not so good..

Cheers,

Bret
