CSF + Openvpn

[Patrick]

Anyone have any problems with the combo?  It seems to be off and on and since my admin is on vacation and cannot reach his temp i cannot figure out why openvpn refuses to connect.  Rather odd

edit:

Thought i should clarify that i have opened the openvpn ports, allowed the vpn ips in iptables.  It appears to be a common conflict, at least from what i'm reading.

Two things (well maybe 3 now that I think about it)

1.   With CSF turned off  - can you connect?   Let's first make sure its not an OpenVPN issue first.

would you mind posting the output of

2.     iptables -L -n -v

and

3.   iptables -t nat -L -n -v

REMOVE ALL PUBLIC IP's PLEASE FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY

Though disabling CSF once allowed me to use openvpn, it appears even CSF isn't disallowing it.  Using the windows app to try and connect and it just keeps trying to reconnect.  Works on the public servers but i can't seem to figure it out on the dev server and it's absolutely frustrating.

figured it out, damn network admins, why do they need vacations... thought they just lived in the machines lol.  It was a damn openvpn config issue.  Though nothing changed.  Oh well, appreciate your attempted help

Patrick -

Happy to be of service - HA HA.

that is what community is all about.

Glad you got it figured out.

OpenVPN can be somewhat of a pain in the rear sometimes - but once it works - it works flawlessly.

Yeah, it's one of the few i really like.  So damn easy to use but it does throw a fit sometimes.  I had no need for it on the dev server but i enjoy playing around with settings so i thought 'what the heck' lol.  Gave you a +1 anyhow.  Thanks for the assistance
