Thanks for your answers The explanation of the rule is: $IPT -t nat -A PREROUTING -i $IF_EXT -d $TESTVPN -p udp --dport 5000:6000 -j DNAT --to-destination $IP_DMZ_SERVERVPN Where: IP=/sbin/iptables IF_EXT= external iface TEST_VPN= Public IP/255.255.255.0 ---> I have noticed this mask is incorrect, this may be a cause of problems??? IP_DMZ_SERVERVPN When I apply this rule i did iptable-save and I see that NAT and I also see my rule with itpables -t nat -L, but the clients vpn still are conected to the Firewall with that public IP. If I stop openvpnserver in Firewall, the clients vpn can ping the public IP and still trying conect to the openvpn in Firewall. I can see that with the tcpdump the clientsvpn never try to connect to the openvpn server behind the firewall, the PREROUTING doesn't work. Thanks for your assistance. -- Angel 2010/3/17 Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@xxxxxxxxxx>: > On Wednesday 2010-03-17 14:14, Robert Nichols wrote: >> On 03/16/2010 10:27 PM, Angel Motta wrote: >>> Hi List >>> This is my first time the I write to this list.
