Openvpn problem

Hi there.

I have the following scenario:

LANa <--> FBSD-GW/FW <--> INTERNET <--> OPENVPN SRV <--> LANb

Using an openvpn client on either any LAN WS or on FBSD-GW works fine.

My idea is to start the openvpn client on FBSD-GW and use the created
tun0 as a gateway for LANa to LANb.

Log from FBSD-GW's openvpn:

OBS - The FBSD-GW has two fibs and the openbsd client is running on fib0,
which is the default fib, and why the pass rule has no route-to. It also
has 2
LANs.


Ping from FBSD-GW to a LANb server:

[~]>ping 172.10.2.28
PING 172.10.2.28 (172.10.2.28): 56 data bytes

Connection from FBSD-GW to a LANb server:

Trying 172.10.1.7...
Connected to adsl-172-10-1-7.dsl.sndg02.sbcglobal.net.

To accomplish that, I added the following to pf.conf:

nat on tun0 from ! (tun0) to any -> (tun0) port 1024:65535
pass log quick on tun0 all

OBS -- This pass rule is rule number 0 !!


Now this is a ping from a LANa WS to 2 LANb servers:

[~]>ping 172.10.1.7

And a tcpdump from FBSD-GW:

As you can see, nat is working properly and the packet finds its way back
to LANa WS.

Now, THE PROBLEM:

Ping is the only thing that works!

Any other type of connection doesn't even hit FBSD-GW tun0 !!

Connection attempt on a LANa WS (172.16.3.40) to LANb server:

[~]>telnet 172.10.1.7 3389
Trying 172.10.1.7...

DEAD Silence !!


I can't understand why a ping packet can find its way back to the LANa WS
but no other (tcp/udp) can't !!

I've been (re)searching for 3 days without success. I've tried every
combination I could think of nat and reply-to/route-to forms. but none
other than the following keeps ping working (at least).

nat on tun0 from ! (tun0) to any -> (tun0)
pass log quick on tun0 all

I don't have the knowledge to solve this any further.
Could anyone shed a light on this?

Thanks,
