            You have to bounce the OpenVPN tunnel after you assign the interface. This is said everywhere that talks about assigning interfaces to OpenVPN tunnels.

            What rules are on the OpenVPN tab next to WANWPN?

            I assume that is the side of the tunnel where the target server is homed and LAN there is 10.0.0.0/24?

            DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

              Hey

              there is no rules in the openvpn tab on both sites

              Lan at the siteB (client) is 10.0.0.0/24 i want to open port 8006 on 10.0.0.2
              Lan at siteA (server) is 10.8.10.0/24

              both sites got an ip in the interface tap after i restarted openvpn.

                Then you probably need to check on the server why it is not responding. Looks like everything is in place that needs to be (assuming there really are no rules on the OpenVPN tab at Site B).

                Attempt a connection then do Diagnostics > States on the Site B side and filter on 8006. What do you see?

                Packet capture on Site B LAN filtering on address 10.0.0.2 and port 8006 and attempt a connection. What do you see?

                What do the server logs on 10.0.0.2 say?

                The LAN network at Site A is not a party to this traffic.

                        You would have to policy route those connections on the local interface out the OpenVPN gateway and the other side would need to perform Outbound NAT for that traffic out its internet connection.

                          Okay

                          So a firewall rule on siteB?
                          And outbound nat siteA?

                            From what i can Google
                            Make firewall rule with source 10.0.0.2 port 25 and under the Advance tap select the VPN GW? Right?
