If it works, try a global rule allowing port 443.<br /><br />My best guesses. :)practicalrambler.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08360260779814630069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766610361286483530.post-50396416573546100652011-11-15T16:52:24.531-03:302011-11-15T16:52:24.531-03:30Hello again.

I have tried port 443 but am getting an error when trying to connect. Everything else is set up correctly. <br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />FJFJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08179420564462850001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766610361286483530.post-58099248544753942342011-09-12T17:33:06.958-02:302011-09-12T17:33:06.958-02:30PJ: As long as you login to only one account at a ...PJ: As long as you login to only one account at a time, and maintain the strict rules, you should be OK.<br /><br />TCPView is a good program for monitoring networking connections, consider using it.

If it is for all applications, try limiting its scope to the OpenVPN client alone. I don't use OpenVPN so I can't test it, but it seems to me this should work. :)<br /><br />Hope this helps!practicalrambler.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08360260779814630069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3766610361286483530.post-41044560992319117842011-09-09T18:30:30.400-02:302011-09-09T18:30:30.400-02:30hey, I tried this setup, but there is one problem:...hey, I tried this setup, but there is one problem:<br /><br />When I create a rule to allow TCP connections on 443 for my openVPN connection, I notice that I am still able to browse HTTPS websites.<br /><br />I want ALL traffic on ALL ports to be blocked when the VPN is not connected.<br /><br />How can I do this ?PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01758149742884949008noreply@blogger.com
