OpenVPN bridging question

Is it possible to selectively block or allow broadcasts that pass through the bridge?
I would like to bridge 2 LAN but i don't want each other seeing network shares, I only want udp broadcasts from LAN games to pass.

that depends on the OS on which the bridge is configured ; on Linux this is possible using either iptables or ebtables. It is not something that openvpn does (or should do) - this is up to the firewall.
