Im very new to OpenVPN, im also running OpenVPN in ubuntu both on 10.4

eth0 is directly connected thru the internet and eth1 is on lan.

Please post all configs (server and client) with comments stripped.

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp

auto lo br0

iface lo inet loopback

iface br0 inet static
address 192.168.1.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
bridge_ports eth0

iface eth0 inet manual
up ip link set $IFACE up promisc on
down ip link set $IFACE down promisc off


----------------
This is my /etc/network/interface config.. i just follow the configuration in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN and add eth1 for my LAN connection.. i just want a bridge connection with eth0 and eth1. the eth0 must be connected to the internet and eth1 is for lan for school.
but im not sure which of the eth will act as a bridge.

thanks for the reply!
