Hi,

I've been using openvpn with at tunnelblick client for about a decade and
I've had the server running in an OpenVZ container with Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
for the last couple of years. I use it constantly every day and it's been
working.

This morning bright and early I replaced my old linux router with a
Sonicwall 4600 and then OpenVPN stopped working right.

Symptom wise it looks like the new firewall is just coincidental because I
can see tunnel traffic coming into the server on UDP 1194 and a little on
500 but not much comes and goes in and out of the tun interface.  I did
make sure that the firewall was allowing fragmented packets on the access
rules and checked that the MTU was ok. Server side the tun ip at 10.8.0.1
is pingable but nothing else in the tunnel. Client side nothing is pingable
and the Mac gets hung trying to read it's routing table. But tunnleblick
thinks it's connected successfully. When I try to disconnect the client
Tunnleblick says it's successful but then whatever has happened causes the
tun interface on the server to stop answering all together and the
container has to be rebooted for it to try again.

I updated the client and server to see if the problems went away but no
luck. The same symptoms persist no matter what. The Nat rule is in right
and the right switch is in my vz config file. Nothing changed between last
night and this morning but the firewall in between and that seem so be
passing the traffic like it's supposed to.

I'll try windows and Linux clients tomorrow but does anybody have any
debugging suggestions that I haven't thought of?
