I'm trying to setup a VPN (openvpn version 1.5.0) connection from my home (ADSL, static IP) to my Office (Static IP). Both networks have a leaf Bering machine as there firewalls, both running shorewall 1.4.7c. I followed the guide at http://www.shorewall.net/1.4/OPENVPN.html but I'm not 100% sure I have got it right. I can get the openvpn side of things to connect but cannot ping any machines on either side of the VPN from the firewall or internal machines.
a) Your Shorewall rules/policies don't permit and fw<->vpn traffic so that rules out fw access via the tunnel.
b) I believe that the routes that you are adding are specifying the wrong gateway -- they should specify the remote end of the tunnel as the gateway, not the local end.
c) I suggest that you "shorewall clear" then debug your tunnel. Once it is working that way *then* start Shorewall. You will then be confident that any remaining problems are in your Shorewall config and not in your tunnel/routing setup.
