      @silence What do you think of this ... will it work? Should I disable OpenVPN rule or will port forwarding still work?

        Do you still want to use openvpn connection for other stuff? If your not using openvpn, then I wouldn't run openvpn. If your not running openvpn then there is little need for the rule.

          @johnpoz This action is temorary so the support guy can 'ssh login' to my 192.168.1.13.
          After the problem is solved I will disable port forward for this incoming IP.
          I still need OpenVPN now and in the future ... question is will OpenVPN rule interfear & disturb to 'ssh login'?
          Should I disable it until the support problem is solved?

            @zkab no it wont interfere

            And yeah your ssh access for some tech support guy is prob much better then giving them vpn access that is for sure. And much easier to setup.

                @zkab no reason to.. If he doesn't have creds and certs to login to the vpn, he can't connect to your vpn. And again that rule has zero to do with your ssh port forward.
