In bridge mode, first you setup the bridge (real interface and tap interface), then you start any VPN.

True but in that case machines behind client must use ip belonging to subnet of server
and in that case it will not be able to connect to other vpn server.

Yes, this is the concept of the bridge: make remote lan's common as if they where on the same switch.
