[vpn-help] Installing on Ubuntu (Mint)

[Harondel J. Sibble]

Hmm, client just installed on Ubuntu 10.04 and found that the tunnel would 
come up but they couldn't ping the other side as no routes are set.

I poked around for a bit and after implementing the info below AND disabling 
the UFW firewall, I am able to ping the server on the other side of the 
tunnel.

So what other specific changes need to be made with UFW to allow this to work 
with UFW operational?

Googling has turned up squat as has searching my local copy of the list 
archives.
