VPN Server/ Firewall Issue

[Guest]

Hello,
I have inherited an Endian Firewall and I configured an OpenVPN server and I am pretty positive I configured it correctly.  However, when I Nmap the IP/port I get:

PORT     STATE    SERVICE
1194/udp filtered unknown

I would think I should get:
PORT     STATE         SERVICE
1194/udp open|filtered unknown

So it looks like the firewall is blocking the port.  When I go into the Firewall section and go into System access I have a rule that saids:
source interface     Service                 Remart
<ANY>                  UDP/1194            Service (OPENVPN)

So to me the port should be open but I think the Firewall is somehow preventing me from getting in.  Perhaps someone with more experience with the endian system can give me some ideas of how I can get OpenVPN to work properly without compromising security.

Thank you in advance,

D Martin

Don't go that low. By default EFW create the correct iptables/ports/etc for OpenVPN.
What you need is to activate VPN Firewall and to create the appropiate rule for it.
By default if you disable the VPN firewall all the openvpn traffic is blocked, it must be enabled.
