[Openvpn-users] Possible to drop port scan packets?

2013-09-24 Thread jack seth
Is it possible to have a Openvpn server drop port scanning packets instead of sending a reply.  For example, when running 'shields up' on grc.com the port that I have openvpn running on is reported as 'closed' instead of 'stealth'.  Is there a way to get openvpn to just not respond?
