OpenVPN and Firewall
 

OS: Ubuntu 10.04 x64.

Firewall management: Firestarter.


Hi, I am using OpenVPN (TUN interface, UDP protocol) to connect to a
VPN, both in Windows Vista 32-bit and Linux x64.

Under Windows it works OK. Under Linux it works OK as long as the
firewall is disabled.

Does anyone know any solution for this kind of VPN, working with
Firestarter firewall?





Thanks a lot,

Open port 1194 for tcp. That's what openvpn uses. Oh, you use
udp...please forgive me if I wonder why you don't know what port to open
in Firestarter if you know how to switch to udp instead of the default
server configuration of tcp...

I did not clarify it. I am trying to connect to a third-party VPN server
with my PC as a client. I am asking about how to configure my PC so as
to connect to the server.

As long as my PC's firewall is stopped, VPN works OK. When I start the
firewall, VPN does not work (Firefox tries to connect to a web site but
it doesn't get a response).


OpenVPN client connects OK to VPN server, both with the firewall started
and stopped.
