Hello List, one of my firewalls (SuSEfirewall2 including openvpn tunnel) is giving the following error message on start/restart: "Starting Firewall Initialization (phase 2 of 3) It's not possible to reject outgoing packets. Expect Timeouts." this seems funny to me, because i did not configure anything to reject outgoing packages. I have the following setup - what did i miss? thanks a lot!
