Hi Tom,

Sorry getting lost now, been at this with other Slackware users, so I've
gotten quite spun around with this for the past few weeks.

Let me ask this over, or another way, if I did before and sorry if I'm
repeating myself. I only use OpenVPN as a client connecting to a VPN
service, so will the 3 files below as you see them work after I've connect
to OpenVPN? Because when I showed this to another Slackware user that seemed
quite experienced with iptables and I showed him the output of
iptables-save, he could not see anything wrong with the 3 files below not
working for me.

So the 3 files below work for me when I'm connected to OpenVPN, of course
when I need to connect to the VPN, I have to comment the first line in the
Policy and uncomment the second line, so how you see it now, this is after
I've connected and I've restarted shorewall...

So for me I do not need a host, tunnels or rules to make the connection
work....

Stopping and starting for 10 mins. doesn't do anything, everything works
just fine for me the way you see it below, once I'm on the VPN...


THANKS
