Thanks for all the responses; I've learned a lot.
As it happens, this query has now been overtaken by events. The solution was
put forward to allow a particular device to be pinged when logged into the
network using the VPN solution. For some reason it refuses pings even though
it can be accessed using ssh once the VPN connection has been made. Adding
this particular iptables rule allowed the ping to work but unfortunately
prevented login to some other devices ;-(
Since the system works OK apart from this one issue, I decided the 'good
enough is good enough' and decided to save what little grey hair I have left
by living with it. I'll have to document the drop-off somehow, so that it
doesn't confuse someone in the future, but I feel that is the best way
forward.
