can't see server machine after running bridge start script
Posted: Wed Aug 18, 2010 8:16 pm
Hey all,
I'm trying to get a Ubuntu 10.04 openvpn server up and running. My server is behind a router where it has a fixed IP address of 192.168.66.112. The router has been configured to port forward ports 22 (for ssh) and 1194 (vpn) through to that address. When the machine boots up normally, I can ssh into the machine from the outside world and everything is good until I run the bridge_start script modified from here http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-sourc ... dging.html:
When I run that script, I can't ssh into the server anymore...but I can't seem to get the iptables correct as to allow traffic to flow through as intended 
Any gurus out there have any advice?
