Hi,

I've setup an OpenVPN server on a VPS. I am running a full node on my personal computer with only outbound connections and without inbound / incoming connections, because my ISP doesn't let me port forward any ports.

I've connected to my VPN as a client, and have enabled port forwarding on it by doing so:

/etc/sysctl.conf: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 

Despite this, I'm unable to still have incoming connections over port 8333 even after being connected over the VPN. Are there any other iptable settings to be done for Post routing and pre routing? Is there any available guide for this?

Kindly help me out with this if anyone has setup one already.

Note: I'm running an OpenVPN access droplet on DigitalOcean over Ubuntu. Also on my personal computer, my firewall is already configured to allow inbound and outbound traffic via port 8333 (tcp/udp) through bitcoin-qt.exe.
