hi, you must first add the rule in the firewall. if you use iptables: accept all connection -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW --dport 1194 -j ACCEPT if you have a public IP static (more secure): -A INPUT -s 11.11.22.33 -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 1194 -j ACCEPT you install a client nmap and do a scan on that specific port or use one of the many online services (example: http://www.t1shopper.com/tools/port-scan/ ) in your router if there is no particular rule filtering traffic, try initially to disable the windows firewall. if it works so we see how to fix it step by step. let me know kind regards On 10/22/2013 10:30 AM, Chandran Manikandan wrote: > Hi, > How to check 1194 port whether open or not on the server and client.
