at present i have only Green zone enabled, didnt use other zones. my machine is in Green zone. with static lan ip

How this can be done, since i dont know the terminology tobe used, not able to search through the forum.

Because this is a basic routing question.
If you don't know how to make a port forward, I can't recommend you to make a public Web Server.             

Anyways, just use you public IP as RED interface, check that you can surf internet.
Then create a rule on Firewall->Port Forwarding to allow TCP ports 80 and 443  and forward them to your internal GREEN ip.

thanks mrkroket,

i am trying to add another red interface, but not getting that, spent yesterday in searching, System->Network configuration->Ethernet Interface-> shows only orange and blue, red is not available.

Already in red interface i have added one public ip, but the isp provided me 8 more ip's, so i thought of using one of them other than my outgoing public ip, (btw, i am already using apache 2.2x webserver in amazon cloud which hosts my photos/),

now instead of paying amazon, i thought i will use the resource what i have.

If that is not wrong pls help me ..

Nicole

Uplinks are defined on Network->Interfaces. But there is no need, you can add additional IP's to your same RED interface.

That's correct. You can also use the <ANY Uplink> instead of your public IP, it's easier if by any reason you change your public IP or have more than one.

still not able to access?

actually for 121...20 the subnet is 255.255.255.252

and the public ip i am trying is 122...12 /255.255.255.248

is that the reason it is not allowing to access?

You dont need to create any openvpn rule, they are auto-created.
On port forward rule you must define the ports you want to relay.  TCP 80 for http and TCP 443 for https

thanks for spending your time

initially i tried with 80 when i was having difficulty, i tried it with "any any",

yes openvpn generated its own rule, but here i am finding the issue is who will be first, if webservice is in first, then i can access the webserver, vpn is not working, if vpn is in first then it works fine, but webservice is having difficult.

You must do something wrong. Port forwanding works ok when you define ports.
I can't recommend to tweak anything to get the ANY ANY rule to work.  Maybe tweaking the config templates, but it's better to just create the correct rule.

I attached the incoming rule I have for HTTP. It works for me.
