Linode as OpenVPN AS - Inbound port forwarding to client
I moved recently and my current ISP doesn't blocks all inbound ports to customers.
Long story short, after a excessive argument with them I needed an alternative way to route my inbound traffic so I set up a linode to use as an OpenVPN gateway.
That part works fine, I configured my linode as a OpenVPN AS and connected my pfsense firewall as a client.
Outbound traffic works perfectly however I'm having difficulties setting up port forwarding or simply allowing all incoming traffic to be allowed through either.
I have spent quite a substantial time researching the internet however I did not find the information I was looking for…or I may have implemented it incorrectly and it didn't work…
Could someone shed some light what I'm missing here please?
Thank you
Gabor

hi there
A suggestion
setup an pfsense box within Linode
then setup an IPsec tunnel between your local pfsense and the linode one.
Add a gateway on the linode pfsense pointing to the local one and again on the local one back to the linode one…
you will then do a port forward to the gateway and again on your local one to push to the local server…
might make things a bit simpler for you
