Getting incoming ports to work with OpenVPN connections.

[cdysthe 3]

Hi,

I would like to use OpenVPN in Ubuntu to connect to AirVPN and it's easily set up with the generated config  files. I can connect without problems. However, I have two incoming ports set up but can't confirm that they are open in my BitTorrent client (Transmission). When I check it says "closed". When I use Eddie on Linux the ports are "open" when I check. Is there something I need to add and/or enter in the OpenVPN connections I've set up to get incoming ports to check out as open? Maybe I am missing something obvious?

Actually no, should work either way. Please provide logs of an OpenVPN connection and a support file from Eddie when connected with it (Logs tab > lifebelt icon) to see if we can spot tiny differences.

I have looked at this some more. The problem I am having is IPv6 related it seems. Using Eddie ipV6 is routed through the OpenVPN tunnel, but I do not know how to achieve that when using OpenVPN configured with the downloaded .opvn files. Seems like IPv6 is handled differently. I am not very good at this stuff but would like to be bale to set up a OpenVPN connection configured like the Eddie does as far as IPv6 goes.

Have you tried ticking the "Advanced" box in the config generator? Might enlighten you.

I sure did. It both confused and enlightened me. I messed around but didn't get it to work the same way it does in Eddie. Pointer please?

Make sure "IP layer exit" is set to "Both".

Also, please don't forget to do what you were asked to do a few posts prior.
