      Hello
      I need some recommendation/solution to link both of my internet cafes together
      Each internet cafes consist of 80 PCs. The objective is to allow Branch A to play Lan Games such as Warcraft with Branch B.

      Pls tell me software/OS/hardwares that I need to accomplish this task. Any help/recommendation is appreciate.

        A VPN connection is not really good for LAN games (ping wise).
        Use the Search function. About the exact same question has been asked before:

        To summarize:
        You would need the same subnet on both sides and make an openVPN-Bridge.
        Read the FAQ/Doc's on how to do this.
        (as long as you dont use CARp there does not seem to be a problem with bridging openVPN)

        The other approach is to use a broadcast Proxy.
        Here is some code you would need to port to FreeBSD with which you could accomplish this.

        Maybe you want to open a Bounty.
