OpenVPN Support Forum

Hello,

I'm migrating away from my slow sonicwalls that I have been using for awhile. I just want to setup a Site-to-Site VPN so there is no need to install a client software on stations as the site-to-site will be in use.

Is it possible with OpenVPN via Bridge mode? But what else options do I need to setup.

Thanks in advance.

Theoretically you could do this, I suppose, by not only setting up a bridge on whatever side you put the server-side of the connection but also bridging the client-side to an internal ethernet device as well to propagate the network; however, I think the performance would stink. I would suggest you go with the point-to-point tunnel having a discrete network on either end and setting up routes to the opposite side of the link. With this you wouldn't have to do anything with the workstations or servers on the client side and you wouldn't have to worry about link degradation due to broadcast maintenance.

Regards,
Stephen
