Dear Experts,

I have setup the openVPN server and It is working fine in all the way. But after some time its management port is not accessible out of the box remotely. I am able to telnet the port on the localhost. It means everything is working fine as earlier. But where is the problem so that i am not able to telnet the port from out of the box or remotely.


Thanks in advance.

Did you check the obvious.. firewall(s).. telnet config files..

Yes I have checked the firewall rules and on the basis of existing firewall rules it was working perfectly. It stopped working suddenly.

Please note the firewall rules :

[root@abts-north-static-212 ~]# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:7505
ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dptpenvpn
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:7505

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dptpenvpn
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere
ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:7505

Chain RH-Firewall-1-INPUT (0 references)
target prot opt source destination


Kindly help.
