bridge networks together.

Hi All.

I think my issue may be a simple one but i'm lost and now seek experts help.

I have a VPS that acts like a email spam / antivirus gateway that sits in the cloud. I have installed openVPN on this VPS and am able to get my windows 7 box to connect and ping.

So my OpenVPN network is as follows.
VPS (open VPN server) has the ip 10.0.1.1 and when windows 7 machine gets a DHCP address of 10.0.1.25. Both the VPS and window server can ping the remote side of the connection.

my mail server's ip is 10.0.1.10. So my question is how can i make my mail server see 10.0.1.1 on the VPS and still sit on the "local network". Installing openVPN on the mail server is not an option.

*server config*

Code: Select all

management localhost 7505
client-config-dir /etc/openvpn
route 10.0.1.0 255.255.255.0
local 97.107.130.227
port 1194
proto tcp
dev tun
ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key  # This file should be kept secret
dh dh1024.pem
server 10.0.1.0 255.255.255.0

You can't use same network mask on two different adapters pointing to different LAN's - you will have routing issues. For VPN use, for example:

Code: Select all

server 10.1.1.0 255.255.255.0

the email server is on a different computer but connected to the same switch the win7 box is.

How do i get the email server to the see the the vpn?

Or.. are you saying...

br0 dev on VPS ip address = 10.0.1.25
tunnel ip 10.1.1.25 on vps

client tunnel ip 10.1.1.26
win 7 bridge network 10.0.1.26

i need to bridge the same subnet between the VPS (openvpn) and and the win 7 machine and make the connection available on the lan.

Can this be done?

Set on mail server the default GW to OpenVPN client. On the client enable routing. Search this forum or internet for enable routing.
