      Hiho!

      I have an openVPN tunnel streaming nearly 12 hours a day. Today (as sometimes in the past) after more than 12 hours of adequate working the firewall suddenly went crazy and started blocking all packages from a remote server (192.168.1.x) on the tunnel interface going to a client on the LAN interface (10.x.x.x).

      The rule blocking is "default deny IPv4".

      Does anybody know what is going on here and how to prevent this?

        All of those blocks are FA..  Out state packets will be blocked yes.

          oooops, sorry, yeah, I should have noticed this… But still no clue why the connection is terminated, however, presumably this has nothing to do with the firewall  ;)
