Hi,
I want to access my (and only that) AC87U (FW 378.54_2) from my Android phone.

But I have the strange problem that the internal VPN Servers (PPTP, OPenVPN) doesnt start at all, even after rebooting The router. I can't even ps -w | grep vpn it. So it's really not there....

So I decided to use Entware openvpn-openssl openvpn-easy-rsa packages.

If I switch off my AC87U firewall I can access the router from "ouside". So the OpenVPN server (also DDNS) and the corresponding client works correct.

But like to switch on the firewall :)


Tried several things (with firewall on). No combination (ORed and ANDs) works
(means:
that OpenVPN Connect-app runs into timeout, but with DDNS recognised; also pining with DDNS adress works)

- UDP port 1194 or TCP port 443 (both simultanously configured on router / phone)
- Activation of WhiteList Definition (under Firewall/Network Services Filter) -> UDP 1194, TCP 443 and others
- Portforwarding (under WAN/Port Forwarding) -> 1194 to AC87U_IP 1194
- jffs/scripts/firewall-start or nat-start with following entries
iptables -A INPUT -i tun+ -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i tun+ -j ACCEPT

I'm searching for the right firewall settings. But I can not find it...

Can you help me?
