Hi

I have a working tun connection between my laptop and my home network.

The home network consist of a router (dlink-825 with openwrt and openvpn server) and a NAS.

The router also acts as DHCP server for the homenetwork

When I am outside the home network and open the bridge I can access all units on
the home network as if I was sitting at home.

I can also surfing from the laptop, using ftp etc. etc. as if everything was normal.

However, if I SSH into my NAS and try to ping an external site or use wget to download files
this does not work, both the ping and wget is "hanging".

Is this normal behaviour or have I configured the tun bridge wrong.

If the tun bridge is up and running, will all other units inside the router (with openvpn server)
be automatically disabled from WAN access ?

since you said lan connectivity works, i know you meant TAP bridge

did you check that the server machine still has a default gateway after making the bridge?
this could just be a matter of adding a line to your bridge script to add the gateway

Hi

Could be, because when I on the laptop enter ipconfig in the command window
I do not have anything on the "Standard-gateway" line on the "connection group"
where my 10..... number is.

I have configured the bridge so all HTTP request from my laptop should go via my home lan router

Here is my client configuration file

are you sure you need mssfix 1400? (do you know why you have this / what it does? if not comment them out of both configs)

ok, this is tun, but not a bridge (topic threw me off)!

did you NAT the vpn subnet in the router?
you need to =]
