As of this writing I am still very green when it comes to IPTables. Used to know more about them, but as time went on and I worked with more systems the knowledge became a blur.
I find myself in need of a tunneling through our network vendor's equipment. I don't trust them to diagnose their equipment so I am taking matters into my own hands. With already having a CentOS 7 box acting as DHCP and DNS, it was only natural to install openvpn and enable ip forwarding.
