Note: When running SSL VPNs in TCP mode, the reverse proxy access logs generated for HTTPS requests contain a source address of 127.0.0.1. This is because OpenVPN must proxy the HTTPS traffic. Therefore, from the Smoothwall Filter and Firewall point of view, the traffic is originating from localhost.
