Default Re: OpenVPN as bridge setup

Dear Klaszman,
I used your ref:
> http://openvpn.net/bridge.html

to set the bridge up.

Guess it is working.
At least for 192.168.100.x

No idea what with the other subnets.
There is no hint how to handle the situation when
bridging into severa subnets.

Has anyone an idea how to check this when I am inside the
net and configuring it?

I think about a proxy or so.
It is somewhat cumbersome when it is going to check the openvpn
from the inside

Best Juergen.
