          ok, Ooma ip isn't showing in diag/states/Wan or in its own Lan. But, roku and fireTv's show up in both logs, So WTF ?? The device shows its got an internet connect, but no vpn or tunnel. And i changed it to static ip on device. But old or new ip, neither shows up in logs i already said and checked.

          Think i'm gonna call it a night now.

          Thx for the help so far.

            Hmm, well if it's getting an IP but not opening any states then it's either just not trying to connect or being blocked.

            Check Status > System Logs > Firewall for any blocked traffic from the Ooma IP.

            Ultimately running a packet capture in Diag > Packet Capture on the interface it's connected to and filtered by it's IP.
            That will show you what it's doing, if anything.

                  Unclear if those are blocks but if they are and 10.15.15.2 is the Ooma device then it looks like it's connecting on LAN (should it be?) and is being blocked for outbound TCP.

                        Ooma needs those ports outbound not inbound. You shouldn't need any of those ports forwards.

                            OpenVPN is definitely not required inbound. The server never connects to the client. The client connects outbound to the server only.
                            The service is expected to 'just work' behind any random router. They cannot possibly expect the average user to setup a whole bunch of port forwards. At most they might require UPnP so the device can set them up itself but I don't see any mention of that.

                                Outbound NAT should be enabled by default for all traffic from an internal device like that. You should not need any additional outbound NAT rules. The only exception to that would be something that requires a static source port, which some VoIP devices do, but this is not using SIP so it's unlikely.

                                It's not about traffic both ways, which is obviously required. In a stateful firewall it's about how the connection is opened. All connections from the LAN are allowed out so the Ooma is able to connect out to check for firmware updates. Reply traffic from the firmware server is allowed back because the firewall state is now open.
                                The same is true for the OpenVPN connection. The client in the Ooma connects out to the server and replies from the server are now allowed back to it so the tunnel is established.

                                  Exactly - says right on their site, these are "outbound" ports
