Ok, I have searched for a few days now to find my solution and though i can kind of find what i am looking for I am a Linux novice at best. I mean seriously, treat me like an idiot with your responses, you will not insult my intelligence or lack there of.
Basically i am working within an AWS environment. I have a Windows server 2012 instance on the same private subnet as the internal interface of the Openvpn server. The openvpn clients can ping the windows server but the windows server cannot ping the vpn clients. Even if i put a static route on the windows server like so:
route add [openvpn vpn client ip scope] MASK [255.255.255.0] [ip address of the internal ip of the openvpn server]
I still cannot ping a vpn client. Now my research as led me to believe that this is a firewall issue. Problem is, i don't know the first thing about a linux firewall or how to edit it. When i run iptables -nvL it tells me permission denied. I don't even know how to sudo this to allow me to make changes but even if i did i'm not sure what the proper change would be.
So from a MS guy who is a terrible CLI user, please help.
Again, treat me like an idiot with you answers and any and all help is appreciated.
