Not sure if this can/should/has been done, but -- for weeks -- I've been banging my head against wall trying to get bridge to server side LAN.
Also, NEWBIE here....
Scenario:
* Endian firewall with open ports to OpenVPN 2.4.7.
* OpenVPN 2.4.7 run on CentOS 7
* CentOS 7 VM install on Windows 2012 R2 HyperV
-- Two virtual NICs (recently added third vNIC).
-- Successfully Create br0 and tap0
-- Firewall ports open on OpenVPN server
All security possible applied: Dual authentication/certs/encryption/compression/passwords
I have step-by-step documentation of entire procedure thus far, as I've made numerous attempts. I would like to post the procedures to help others avoid my pitfalls, further their understanding and ease installation.
If anyone has tried this configuration, please let me know if it can/should work. Obviously, I'm thinking it can so I'm continuing to try.
Accessing OpenVPN server is readily done. However, when I try ping from client to firewall or any IP server-side LAN, I am unable to successfully ping.
1. Can see successful connection to server
2. Successfully obtain IP from the server-bridge command
3. Cannot successfully ping either way; neither to nor from the server-side LAN
Help....
