airvpn and shorewall router

[wicked_boy74 0]

Hi

Just wondering if anyone has configured the openvpn client on a shorewall router to direct all outbound traffic via airvpn..

example configs would be great ..

Ultimately I would like to be able to route all outbound traffic except for vpn connections to work through airvpn.. and still allow limited incoming traffic to specific ports (e.g. port 80 for my local webserver)

cheers

Allan

I'm at the same point now. Have a shorewall router and can't route all traffic through tun0 interface, but working on it.

Openvpn is connecting to AirVPN but at the end of log it says that route cant be set.

What are the actual benefits (for you) of using Shorewall vs. for example, pfSense?

I am asking because such distributions are niche, and you chose ones that is even more niche and has less community support.

Unless somewhere here already configured Shorewall+AirVPN, there are less chances that somebody will install it on a VM to test.

 

If it has GUI options for OpenVPN, you probably have to put the screenshots here. If it can act like normal Linux distro, then you

have to follow the Linux guide, or any OpenVPN Linux configuration manual.

I am also interested on why you guys picked this firewall. pSense user here, when to their website and it was different.

I have installed Shorewall at Debian 8 router with DHCPD,SQUID3,VSFTPD,Wlan-APs,NGINX.... and crypt disk drives by veracrypt.

So I would like to redirect a few clients to AirVPN by shorewall. Shorewall uses iptables, so it cant be that difficult...

You need to attach OpenVPN logs

In Client Area I see that it is connected but can not ping through tun0 interface.
