I've used ipvanish with openvpn on Ubuntu for more than a year without any problems
I have recently installed Ubuntu 15.10 on a new desktop and installed shorewall (the firewall I install on all my systems).
After configuring the firewall to allow vpn traffic and starting the vpn, it rejects vpn packages for destination port 53. The destination port should be (and always was) 1194. Initially I though it was related the the Ubuntu dnsmasq, but after disabling this, the problem persists.
A 'netstat' shows that openvpn listens on 1194

BTW,
After recent upgrades on other desktops in my house they now all seem to use port 53 instead of 1194. :lol:
Thanks
