Greetings!
Im try to up my OVPN server to combine multiple remote networks into one over a secure connection (important) + im need it for some monitoring soft.

LAN 1: under router dlink. 192.168.0.0/24 (192.168.0.1-200) - with 1.2.3.4 static Internet IP. Server under this LAN on 192.168.0.39 (Ubuntu 10.1) and some PC with 192.168.0.x.
LAN 2: under router dlink. 192.168.0.0/24 (192.168.0.1-200) - only 1 pc
- port forwarding is enabled
- firewalls is disabled
- iptables done for server done
- clients under Windows 7 and XP
- Ubuntu server under VMware (bridge settings for network)

use it
We decided to use tap interface and Ethernet bridging.
So im put in /etc/networking/interfaces

Code: Select all

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.0.39
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
broadcast 192.168.0.255

restart network(ping is working)
next step is run script bridge-start with my settings:

eth="eth1"
eth_ip="192.168.0.39"
eth_netmask="255.255.255.0"
eth_broadcast="192.168.0.255"

and run openvpn demon and got ifconfig -a like this:
