[arm-allstar] OpenVPN help

[Bryan St Clair]

For those using openvpn (on a ATT connection) I have a question.

I am helping someone who has a node on a ATT Netgear device.  It is online
and was able to make outgoing connections.   We were not able to get ATT to
allow incoming connections so we setup a openvpn connection and have it
running.  The new IP is registering and we are on port 4570, showing
correct port id on both host and client-side DNS queries.

Problem is, I reboot the node, it starts the VPN, connects and registers.
Seems it take about 30 seconds before an outgoing connection can be made,
however, an hour later, no incoming connection can be established.

(node numbers as example, all are public nodes)

node 1234 can connect to 9876.
node 1234 is on the vpn, node 9876 is not on a vpn, different networks.
node 9876 can not connect 1234, gets the following messages:

chan_iax2.c:4099 __auto_congest: Auto-congesting call due to slow response

no incoming connection for any source can get into node 1234. However
outgoing from 1234 it seems to be fine.

I don't use vpns often in allstar, is their any diag steps to ensure the
4570 port is getting back to the node? I even tried to ssh directly to in
ove the vpn and get no response to the login attempt.

Any ideas?
