Attempting to port forward with an OpenVPN client [SOLVED]
-
Ive got a feeling that on your WAN rule that the Gateway needs to be associated with the VPN but logging will help to see if anything is making it.
-
When you do a port forward- that is the way the associated rule is written by the box. Works here.
Yes, you are correct. My mistake
But then, won't first firewall rule on the WAN interface block the (attempted) port forward?

I see what your saying.. Doesn't affect me here. I think that means initiated from a private network…

Don't do the Port Forward on the WAN, place it on the StrongVPN interface as incoming traffic on the public vpn IP address will 'appear' on your strong VPN interface which is where you also need to place an allow rule.

You weren't the only one. I thought since the port forward was on the WAN it must be a new problem. Details!

The actual interface is the VPN so the rule applies there.
Even though its a WAN connection the VPN passes through it and is therefore encrypted.
