Well, it would be good to....

Stop firewalld, dump the IPTables, start the VPN daemon, wait a bit, and dump the IPTables
again.

Also, it would be helpful to actually name the commercial VPN which may warn others about
the pitfall.

But, it is good to know it is fixed.  And yes, the lesson is "list things you've installed
that aren't part of the normal distribution".

The other thing that I'd question would be: If you'd made no changes why then did the
problem arise?  Did a change in some Fedora component become "incompatible" with the VPN
daemon?
