trying to set up an openvpn connection on a box with iptables Would like to get port 1194 open (UDP). I have tried various ways --usually the best way seems to be editing the /etc/sysconf/iptables file and restarting the service. I have tried to verify with nmap --but no success. I would greatly appreciate any advise on how to open this port... (p.s. sorry for such a newbie-class question) Thanks in advance Here is some output: [root@here]# /sbin/iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- anywhere anywhere Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination RH-Firewall-1-INPUT all -- anywhere anywhere Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain RH-Firewall-1-INPUT (2 references) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT icmp -- anywhere anywhere icmp any ACCEPT ipv6-crypt-- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT ipv6-auth-- anywhere anywhere ACCEPT udp -- anywhere 224.0.0.251 udp dpt:5353 ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:ipp ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW tcp dpt:ssh REJECT all -- anywhere anywhere reject-with icmp-host-prohibited ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere state NEW udp dpt:1194 [root@here]# /sbin/iptables -V iptables v1.2.11
