Hello Angela, Yes, openvpn server and shorewall run on the same ARM embedded system ( Debian 7.8).
Shorewall version : 4.5.5.3 Linux Kernel 3.18 I used your settings but still it doesn't work when I run shorewall. grep vpn * : interfaces:vpn tun0 - policy:vpn all ACCEPT info policy:net vpn ACCEPT info tunnels:openvpnserver:tcp:1194 net 0.0.0.0/0 zones:vpn ipv4 Now I manually modified the iptables for the establishing and keeping the VPN connection with the following commands and then it works as expected : iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 1194 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i tun0 -j ACCEPT iptables -A FORWARD -i tun0 -j ACCEPT Regards, Thomas Gesendet: Donnerstag, 26.

I will assume that the openvpn server runs on your firewall that runs shorewall!

I understand you're running the OpenVPN Server on the same machine as Shorewall, in that case add the following to your rules file and then try connecting: > > OpenVPN/ACCEPT net $FW > > Regards, > > Hesham Ahmed > > > > > > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 25.

Shorewall and OpenVPN server running on that board with the following Shorewall configuration : grep vpn * interfaces:ovpn tun+ policy:loc ovpn ACCEPT policy:ovpn fw ACCEPT policy:ovpn loc ACCEPT tunnels:openvpnserver:1194 net 0.0.0.0/0 zones:ovpn ipv4 It works for all my customers and comes from the Shorewall docs!
