Hi
Quaddle
I came across a problem and need a helping hand. My vpn shuts down the internet. Is there maybe a checklist, that i can use for research on the error ?
Hikari
Quaddle: what VPN client do you use? WireGuard?
Quaddle
@Hikari, Sorry, i got sacked.
Quaddle
I am using openvpn and networkmanager. And i have opened the recommended ports in the firewall settings
Hikari
Quaddle: as in you got fired? that would make your VPN not work anymore yeah
Quaddle
Yeah, i had some browsers open and all got stuck
Hikari
that makes sense, most VPN configurations "fail closed" (IE: if the VPN can't connect, the connection dies)
Quaddle
No, i did not experiment on it. My PC got stuck due too much load - when i turn the fw off, it goes. So, i wonder, what could be it
Hikari
"turn the firewall off"?
Quaddle
Yes shorewall stop
Hikari
that's what broke it
Hikari
VPN clients use the firewall to set routes
Quaddle
Yes, i agree. Can i fix it somehow ?
Quaddle
Anyone an idea ?

Quaddle: if you have access to a VM with the same OS set up as a Guest system, might be ideal to begin testing your various VPN and FW combinations
Quaddle
OK, no, i haven´t . You mean testing different settings in my main system is not recommended ?
T3s|4
Quaddle: do the testing until you isolate the issue...VMs allow you to do that in a risk-free way
Quaddle
OK, that´ll take a while
T3s|4
Quaddle: I never said testing on your main system is a poor idea - assuming you keep copies of any and all known to work config files before you change them
Quaddle
Good, i will abandon this for a while, until i have my things in order, i think
T3s|4
fully updating your OS, rebooting and then only opening a few programs is always a good base from which to begin testing :D
Quaddle
Thank you, additionally, i have contacted the support

Tunnels are completely empty cat /etc/shorewall/tunnels ###############################################################################

Quaddle: No experience with shorewall, but again, at a minimum, update and reboot
RN

RN
