Goodmorning everyone,
I really like OpenVPN's Cloud service, the only thing I can't do is activate the bonjour service on the vpn. I use Apple computers with OSX and I would like the PCs to see each other on the network as if I were in a local network. Is there a way to activate this feature or is it impossible?
Thanks for your help

Re: Enable Bonjour (mDNS)
Hello,
I am afraid it is not possible to use Bonjour or mDNSresponder over OpenVPN Cloud. It works with multi-cast and our VPN is uni-cast. You could maybe do it with Access Server or open source edition when it's configured for layer 2 VPN but that has some other repercussions that you should carefully consider before doing that. Generally it is not recommended to use layer 2 with OpenVPN.
Kind regards,
Johan
