Hi everybody

I'm trying to setup a bridged OpenVPN so that the external clients use my internal IP addresses of the LAN. For ease of use, I have been working with several firewall distros (pfsense, ipcop, etc.) but all seem to have issues with bridged OpenVPN.

Could you suggest something that is easy to setup?

Thanks In Advance.

**You ONLY want to use dev tap if you are tunneling layer2 traffic, if you are using IP traffic you want tun. If you are using tap only for windows file sharing, look into running a WINS server instead.
