Firewall (?) problems using Mozilla VPN
Hello.
I've downloaded and installed Mozilla VPN and currently using on 30 day trial. I'm running Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS. The VPN works fine on my Android Tab & phone. And of course on my Ubuntu PC. Unfortunately I can't connect via ssh (on a high number port, not default port) from my Android boxes to my Ubuntu PC if the Mozilla VPN is running on the PC AND my firewall is ON. My firewall is Gufw v. 20.04.1. My firewall works fine when the VPN is OFF - I can connect via ssh to the Ubuntu PC. And I can connect via ssh to the Ubuntu PC when the VPN is ON but the firewall is OFF! I should add that Wireguard is installed though not active afaik, could this be an issue? I'd be very grateful for advice - maybe suggestions as to which log files I should look at. Or suggestions for change(s) in firewall settings needed to make firewall play nicely with Mozilla VPN. Many thanks. Update: (26 Nov. 2021) Mozilla have confirmed to me that Quote:

Bump... Anyone?

Seems like you've identified a problem in a paid Mozilla product and asked both LQ and Mozilla about it. Mozilla confirmed the issue, provided a workaround, and said you will be notified when it's fixed. What are you expecting from LQ? |

Turning the VPN off on my Linux box to allow local network SSH access to it isn't exactly a "workaround" given that I had mentioned that option in my emails to Mozilla. I thought that some people here might have tried the Mozilla VPN, encountered the issue and perhaps found a fix. Hey ho. |
Well I guess it is possible someone here has found a fix and then decided not to share it with Mozilla.
The chances of anyone outside Mozilla suggesting a better workaround might be increased if the details of the issue identified by the dev team was shared... |
