Not an answer to your question, but a suggestion.

Use tls-auth in your OpenVPN configuration.

Any packet not signed will just get dropped.  Seems a lot easier to manage.

Thank you Bob for your lightspeed suggestion :-)

I use tls-auth on my OpenVPN gateway setting my configs as is suggested in the OpenVPN hardening guide.

Best regards

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.

Could you, Dear Tom, respond to this?

Best regards
