Thank you very much.

That is the solution.
Or at least, the problem does lie with shorewall,
as when I disable it with "sudo shorewall clear"
I am able to ping in both directions.

I haven't yet found a proper shorewall setting.
I tried following the "roadwarrior" recipe
at <http://www.shorewall.net/OPENVPN.html>
but that did not seem to work.

I am sure the solution is just around the corner, though.

Molto grazie.
