How to setup SuSEfirewall2 to masquerade openvpn traffic to the open internet?

It would probably to see all of your iptables configuration with the
firewall on, as well as to better-understand your networking setup on the
client and server sides. I presume you are using openSUSE on both ends,
but I do not know that for sure. Run the following commands to get some
helpful data for us from both the client and server systems (labeled
appropriately):


sudo /usr/sbin/iptables -nvL
sudo /usr/sbin/iptables-save
ip a
ip r

If nothing else the first two should let us see all of your running
firewall rules, and that may help us see, combined with the latter two,
where a mismatch may exist, particularly if you can share some of the
messages from /var/log/firewall where you see the dropped packets.


Good luck.
