Is there any possibility of adding airplay capabilities to the system.
I can never get airplay to work even between two hosts both connected to the same VPN server and therefore are on the same subnet. Broadcast between the clients appear to be disabled, though i agree under most circumstances this would be a good things.
Does anyone have suggestions for setting changes that could allow this to work. I already have 'client-to-client' in the server config.
Thanks

You may need to use the tap device, instead of tun to get broadcast traffic.

That would work, except I need this for IOS. Currently and for the foreseeable future this will only support tun.
Thanks for the reply. I suspect I maybe hosed. I need the client to be able to see each others broadcast for AirPlay support.

Re: airplay and VPN
airplay requires broadcast traffic and "stock" openvpn only supports that using 'dev tap' (which the iOS client does not support, AFAIK). There are some broadcast-retransmitters for OpenVPN that might help, but it'll always be a kludge.
