Subject: iptables and openvpn bridge
Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2007 21:05:05 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ffoc21$bju$1@ger.gmane.org> (raw)

I run openvpn on a linux (FC7) box with an
ethernet bridge.  As specified at
  http://openvpn.net/bridge.html
I set iptables thus:
   iptables -A INPUT -i tap0 -j ACCEPT
   iptables -A INPUT -i br0 -j ACCEPT
   iptables -A FORWARD -i br0 -j ACCEPT
Now it works, but this opens up much more
on the host machine than I want.  But I
do not understand the paths so that I can
know how to add additional restriction.

Can someone direct me to further relevant
documentation?

Thanks,
Mike.
