      Is it possible to broadcast UDP package over VPN (IPSec or PPTP)? Me and my friends needs this for playing multiplayer games over a VPN (currently we using PPTP). Games that support direct IP connection works and the others that are depend on broadcast not. On other topics I read that this is possible with openVPN but I still wish this to do it with PPTP because client is already integrated into windows.
      Same thing is discussed on that site:  http://non-standard.net/freebsd/game-vpn/game-vpn.html . Can this be integrated into pfSense and how?

        I'm not sure if it works, but someone wrote a small programm that can redirect udp broadcasts.

        This is for linux.
        I probably wont have time soon to try it, but it might run with the linux binary compatibility.

        If you try it, let us know if it works (i could use it too :) )

        We do what we must, because we can.

          It should work just compile it in a freebsd system and you can have it working in pfSense normally.
