My immediate reaction was to make a rude reply about how OF COURSE I
already had that set - but I thought I'd look first.
It's always the little obvious things that are so hard to see. I would
have bet money I had that set....and I did prior to rebuilding the
server. Somehow everything else was working without the
forwarding...probably because this box was no longer supposed to be a
router. And OpenVPN doesn't need it for client-to-server communications
- but it does for other things...which explains why some of my other
things weren't working.
It's a good thing I don't mind looking stupid since I do it so well -
but I'm glad the brain/mouth/keyboard interface kicked in so I don't
have to appear to be a jerk as well.
THANK YOU!!!
