you can still have a firewall between vpn connections. the firewall can
exist on the machine that has the vpn link itself, or on a seperate machine
perhaps in bridged mode monitoring the traffic.

as for that specific system, are you able to access any of the other
ports? is it reachable at all?

what kind of vpn setup are you using?
