mpfrench In January 2017, Microsoft changed the way network adapters are allowed to be bridged in Windows 7 which prevents bridging an OpenVPN TAP with the LAN adapater. See topic number #828. I've verified that the source of the issue is not OpenVPN since I can consistently replicate the problem with two LAN adapters with one of them not connected to any network. The bridged connection is prevented from communicating. I've just now tried bridging an OpenVPN(v 2.4.4) TAP to the LAN adapter on a clean install of Win 10 and found that is refuses to add the TAP to the bridge. What I am trying to accomplish is using OpenVPN to perform Windows networking on my laptop computer from anywhere in the world with all the same capabilities as if I were connected to my LAN via an ethernet cable. Can anyone put together a How-To document to do this without using network bridging? I've fought this problem for about a year without success.
