      Hi everyone,

      I am setting up a OpenVPN server with 1 NIC to serve TAP Bridging so consultants and employees can connect to our network and get a local address.. I have installed the tap bridging fix.

      We have a subnet of xx.xx.48.0/23. All servers and network devices are on the .48.0 subnet, and all DHCP clients have an address on the .49.0 subnet. We have a Windows 2003 Server which serves as DHCP-server.

      I have made a openvpn interface (out of ovpns1) and a bridge which connects the normal NIC and openvpn interface. The VPN server has an IP of xx.xx.48.134.

      When i connect, it logs in without any problem and i get a DHCP address of .49.xxx (varies) from our DHCP server. The problem is now that i cannot ping any devices on the network, only the pfsense server itself with the .48.134 address… Nothing else works. I have tried to make firewall rules that allowed all traffic on all interfaces, i have disabled packet filtering but nothing helps. The packet capture utility shows a bit of "arp-whois" packets through the line...

      Any suggestions?

        Note to devs: Is the FreeBSD 8.x tap fix patch http://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/2701 included in latest pfsense builds ?
