      I'm having a weird issue and I don't know if it's an OpenVPN question or maybe a firewall question. Figured I would start here.

      I have an OpenVPN Client running on my firewall with the provider being PIA. I have a vlan configured so all the traffic on the machines on that vlan get routed through the openvpn client. Everything works; web browsing works, I can ping, I get an IP from the PIA provider on that vlan.

      Here's the odd thing. In my firewall logs, I see blocks:

      Interface: WAN
      Rule: Default deny rule IPv4
      Source IP: <pia server IP>:1198
      Destination IP: <wan ip>:54155
      Protocol: UDP

      In the firewall logs, it looks like it's denying part of the connection, but yet I see nothing in the OpenVPN Logs and things look like they're working.

      Should I create a rule on the WAN interface that looks like the following?

      Interface: WAN
      Source IP: *
      Src Port: 1198
      Dest IP: WAN IP
      Dest Port: *
      Protocol: UDP

      I'm not sure if I should do that, or if the blocking is just normal because it's UDP traffic. Or maybe I don't have a NAT rule setup right? Thanks in advanced!
