Hello, I''m having a really hard time trying to configure shorewall to allow bridged vpn traffic in the local subnet. I''m using openvpn v2.0.9 , Shorewall v4.0.10 with the Shorewall-Perl compiler on a dedicated Debian 2.6.18 system. The firewall is a three interface setup with: eth0 = loc eth1 = dmz eth2 = net My Openvpn client (XP) seems to connect ok, the tap interface gets assigned an ip, but I am unable to ping anything in the subnet. If you can shed some light on this for me I would be very grateful. Please let me know if you need to see anything else. The output of "brctl show" is: bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br0 8000.00010287046a no eth0 tap0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here''s a look at my shorewall setup: shorewall/zones: #ZONE TYPE OPTIONS IN OUT # OPTIONS OPTIONS fw firewall road ipv4 net ipv4 loc ipv4 dmz ipv4 ----------------------------------- shorewall/interfaces: #ZONE INTERFACE BROADCAST OPTIONS net eth2 detect tcpflags,dhcp,routefilter,nosmurfs,logmartians,routeback loc br0 detect dhcp,bridge,routeback,routefilter dmz eth1 detect routeback ---------------------------------- shorewall/masq: #INTERFACE SOURCE ADDRESS PROTO PORT(S) IPSEC MARK eth2 br0 eth2 eth1 --------------------------------- Thank You, ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
