OpenVPN bridge mode
-
Using this (a little aged) tutorial:
https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=46984.0
I have been trying to get my OpenVPN connection to bridge. I can get it to work in TUN mode, however this is less than ideal for what I want to do. I would like to bridge the connection so my road warrior client gets the same IP address when connected to the VPN as it does when connected to the LAN (pf is doing DHCP based on MAC)
I have tried various configs and played with various settings. I can get the VPN to connect, but no IP address is ever received. Most recent try:

–192.168.43.x is the address range my phone is handing out to my laptop (phone is the access point)
I've read through some FAQs and am still unable to get this to work.
Is there a trick to getting an OpenVPN bridge to work?
Thanks.
