The "local" statement is *necessary* when and if the same port as in the OpenVPN config needs to be used somewhere else as well (be it by another OpenVPN instance, or some entirely different software), so as to use different *IP*-and-port combos instead. The conflict occurs as soon as the second software tries to start *LISTENing* on that port, with *no packets* being sent yet. Hence, your iptables setup is entirely irrelevant there. Kind regards, -- Jochen Bern Systemingenieur >Binect GmbH Hello,Thank you so much.So, the "local" statement is only applicable when the OpenVPN servers use the same ports. So, if an OpenVPN server with several different IP addresses uses different ports in its settings, there is no need to use the "local" statement. Am I right? Why my iptables rules are irrelevant? _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
