17.1 Legacy Series / Re: OpenVPN and firewall rules

Some thoughts about the topic and other questions probably:
* opnSense can work as OpenVPN client or OpenVPN server, or both together
* Either mode can have multiple entries (So you can be client-side connected with 3 remote OpenVPN servers and provide 2 OpenVPN servers on your opnSense at the same time)
This would lead to a number of 5 different networks (in the above case) that the opnSense has to care about.
In firewall settings there is just one OpenVPN tab. What connection is it for?
It is not even labeled with a client/server description to distinguish the networks.
Since there can be much ambiguation I guess you have to specify the network addresses manually.
But I'm also interested in how that works and how OpenVPN is mapped to interfaces and firewall sections.
