OpenVPN Support Forum

ok guys im really trying to follow the guides to get a network up and running but its just a little over my head, so im just wondering if i set up the server properly to emulate an ethernet bridge. i want to game with my friends and be able to act like they are on the same network. i can connect to the server but no clients can connect. if my config for my server is correct ill upload my client info.

if you can connect via openvpn client on the local subnet then the problem is probably to do with port forwarding udp on port 1194 on your router to your openvpn server at 192.168.1.114 ? double check that your dyndns is working too by setting up a temporary web server on port 80 or ssh client on port 22 and try to connect to it using your dyndns FQDN.
