Title: OpenVPN firewall group and rules
Post by: ivica.glavocic on September 25, 2025, 10:29:00 AM
I created OpenVPN instance and assigned MyOpenVPN interface to ovpns1, set up firewall rules, everything works.

There are still OpenVPN firewall group and OpenVPN firewall rules that I don't need or use.

How can I get rid of those to have clean administration of only things that are really used?

I found info that OpenVPN group is non-removable, can I hide it somehow?

Just delete the rules.

The OpenVPN group is just there if any instance is configured.

There are no rules in OpenVPN, but menu for OpenVPN is there and I don't need it since I don't use it. Can it be hidden?
With firewall, less is more, IMO.
