Hi there,
I've been trying to get an OpenVPN setup going on my EFW PC. I know I am missing something somewhere, but I don't know where. Could someone guide me through step-by-step as to which settings I need for my particular case? Or even better, maybe just help with the theory (I've read several threads here on the forum, but I seem to be as thick as a brick!)
Essentially, I would like to set up the OpenVPN Server on my EFW so that I can connect individual remote pcs to my network. I have a server on my network doing the DHCP (192.168.252.0/24 range) and would like the OVPN server to hand out addresses in a range (say .160 - .170) when I connect - so I've gone with the bridged connection. I think my issue arises on the Firewall side. I can't seem to get the port (1194) open to the outside world. I've tried setting up routing etc. but I get more confused the more settings I try!
So, the main questions are:
1. How/where do I open port 1194 to the outside world? (all ports are routed from point of entry - the DSL router - to the EFW)
2. How do I route the OVPN traffic to my internal network so that I can access my data server?
Apologies if this has been covered in other threads, but I've been at this for days and I'm at a loss!
