Thread: VPN initiating but no traffic going through

hi,
new ubuntu, had less 48 hours i'm starting university in october i'll have used excuse basic questions.

have vpn account , have been running on windows without problems deleted windows os because wanted force myself learn linux os. have installed configuration package through terminal , have followed guide exactly

http://www.ibvpn.com/billing/knowled...k-manager.html

vpn giving me no secrets error start off managed fix , connects 40seconds whilst connected, internet useless , can't on anything... disconnects after 40 seconds saying has failed.

installed firestarter see if tweak there work beyond me , see data being sent none of going through tap0 whilst vpn connected..

ideas?

i use openvpn, @ beginning had trouble put working in ubuntu...

1- remove "firestarter", because it's additional kind of firewall , don't want more things messing connection....

2- has can see in online manual provided, in 8 step, picture bellow has option "use custom gateway port" 1194 greyed, activate option , leave default port (1194).

3- need allow traffic through specific port in ubuntu using iptables.


type in terminal:


to allow openvpn:

sudo iptables -a input -p udp --dport 1194 -j accept

to allow traffic to/from bridged interfaces:

sudo iptables -a input -i tap0 -j accept
sudo iptables -a input -i br0 -j accept
sudo iptables -a forward -i br0 -j accept


4- check if router accept traffic throught port.


see ya....
