Hi!
I'm searching for a recommended configuration for the following (common) scenario:
- - OpenVPN server runs directly on a router. This router provides many other services like Samba, DNS, DHCP, etc.
- Several clients (running on Android, Windows XP) will connect using OpenVPN client software -> Multiclient
- All clients get an IP from the DHCP server that belong to the home network, e.g. 192.168.178.0 255.255.255.0
- The Android clients can use a specific App allowing to make phone calls using the router functionality
Based on this scenario I have the following questions:
- 1. Which protocol is recommended: UDP or TCP?
I have read that usage of TCP for VPN tunneling has some disadvantages
2. Which method is recommended: Routing or Bridge?
3. Is it required to define a VPN subnet, e.g. 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0?
4. Is it recommended to define the parameter "cipher" in the client configuration file?
THX
