      Hi, just finished setting up a host –-> site connection with OpenVPN, the client is a windows XP SP2. I can ping from either side and it works, but can only connect from hosts inside my lan to the remote client and not the other way around (ssh connection from XP to a linux PC gives me "connection timed out") and i don't see any message in the firewall log about the connection being dropped.

      Any idea?

        does only ssh not work?

        do other services work? because if you can ping both way's other protocols should work too…

        We do what we must, because we can.

            Doing a traceroute from de XP client i see it goes through the PFsense's end of the VPN connection. XP has not firewall, nor the local linux host.

            XP
            LAN: 10.129.4.X
            TUN: 10.1.8.6
            ping LINUXBOX: works
            ssh LINUXBOX: doesn't work
            http LINUXBOX: doesn't work

            PFSENSE
            LAN: 10.1.1.X
            TUN: 10.1.8.1

            LINUXBOX
            LAN: 10.1.1.X
            ping XP: works
            rdp XP: works
