Hi, I recently managed to get pfSense to run a OpenVPN connection with my VPN provider (ExpressVPN). All traffic is routed through this VPN tunnel via my pfSense device.
I randomly use ShieldsUp to test my ports and see if they are dropping requests. All fine when the VPN tunnel is down. I then ran the ShieldsUp (https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2) test when the VPN tunnel was up and to my surprise I found that when I run the ShieldUp against the IP i get off "What my IP" (which presumably is the IP of the VPN server which I'm connecting to) there are a few open ports: 80, 81, 443. I' assuming that as these are the open ports of the VPN server that is allowing me to connect, its not reflecting the configuration of OpenVPN on my pfSense device, correct? Apologies, this may be a bit OT but I thought I would check that its not a pfSense related issue before I knock on ExpressVPN's door. Presumably, this is the way OpenVPN works ...
