OpenVPN Client Bridging not Working
-
I have setup OpenVPN successfully several times, but I am now trying to get clients to use a bridged interface and I am stymied.
I used the information in the topic "HOW TO: OpenVPN TAP Bridging with LAN".
There are a few differences for my environment and I am not sure if they are the problem:
On the OpenVPN definition:
UDP vs TCP – I can't use UDP because of some home routers won't pass the traffic properly.
Remote Access -- I use "User Auth".
Bridge Interface -- LAN (is this correct? I don't put the OPT1 interface or the BRIDGE0 interface here do I?)
DHCP Start and Stop: I am using 172.17.60.201 through 250
Compression -- I am not compressing.On the OPT1 interface:
Type: none -- Is this correct?
Network Port: ovpns2 (My Bridged VPN) -- I also have a routed VPN. They won't conflict will they?Bridges:
Members: LAN, OPT1
I have tried the bridged VPN from both an iPad and WindowsXP. When using the iPad, the error log looks like:

When using the WindowsXP system:

Have I set something wrong? Am I missing something?
