openvpn client @ freebsd

Post by cybersans » Fri Jul 16, 2021 10:45 am

dear all,

here is the scenario:

1. i am using freebsd 10.x and the openvpn client is version 2.4.3
2. i have a port forwarding from the firewall to the freebsd's LAN ip eth0
3. when i connect the freebsd using openvpn (via firewall's internet access) and get tun0, the port forwarding to eth0 failed.
4. there is no firewall running in the freebsd.

is that because the tun0 blocking inbound internet from the gateway to the eth0?
what should i do so that openvpn access the internet via tun0 while people from outside can connect to some service bind at the eth0?

thank you
sans
