Is it possible to filter incoming connections using the GeoIP module for the OpenVPN gateway located on the Linux Shorewall router?

 From what I noticed, the entry in the /etc/shorewall/tunnels file:
#TYPE                               ZONE    GATEWAY GATEWAY_ZONE
openvpnserver: 1194    net        0.0.0.0/0

implies opening the udp/1194 port to the internet on which the OpenVPN service is listening, regardless of whether the appropriate permitting entry appears in /etc/shorewall/rules file. My point is to allow connections to the OpenVPN gateway from a given country using the GeoIP module, e.g.

# Accept OpenVPN gateway access only from PL
OpenVPN(ACCEPT)    net:^[PL]     $FW

From what I've read, Tom Eastep is planning to withdraw the use of the tunnels file for the rules file, where the syntax shown above will probably be accepted by the Shorewall Firewall.


It would be good if you could try it and if it works for you and report back if you have issue(s).

Could you, Dear Tom, respond to this?


Note that Tom is retired from the Shorewall project.
