Re: [Openvpn-users] More openVPN setup questions

Hello again John,

Thank you for the detailed response to my further questions, your
descriptions of items really helped me gain a bit more understanding of
what I have to do to get openVPN setup.

My hardware router, DLink DI-624 (rev C) has a firewall tab where I
believe I can set up the traffic routing, will take some investigation
on how to do it, but I think it can be done.

The biggest challenge I see in my router setup is the fact that I am
forwarding UDP port 5000 to the openVPN system and all traffic between
the two VPN systems travels via  that  port. Now maybe it is my lack of
knowledge of firewalls, something I am going to have to work on, but I
do not understand how setting up rules to route all traffic from
10.240.0.0/30 and 192.168.4.0/24 to the 192.168.0.93 machine will make
things any different. Does the forwarding of UDP port 5000 to
192.168.0.93 not supercede any other rule or will the firewall look at
the traffic coming across that port and work with it according to the
rules.

I hope I have explained myself in the proper way and please excuse my
lack of knowledge regarding firewalls
Thank you for all the assistance to this point and for any more you can
provide

Cheers
Michael Kelly
