Hi to all .. I am setting up for the first time a bridged openvpn sistem, folowing the guide in the site, rised a question : http://www.shorewall.net/OPENVPN.html in the /etc/network/interfaces I must replace the config with this : # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 172.16.0.253 netmask 255.255.0.0 network 172.16.0.0 broadcast 172.16.255.255 # The bridged vpn network interface iface br0 inet static pre-up /usr/sbin/openvpn --mktun --dev tap0 pre-up /usr/sbin/brctl addbr br0 address 172.16.0.2 network 172.16.0.0 broadcast 172.16.255.255 netmask 255.255.0.0 post-up /sbin/ip link set tap0 up post-up /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 tap0 post-up /sbin/ip link set eth0 up post-up /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 eth0 post-down /usr/sbin/brctl delbr br0 post-down /usr/sbin/openvpn --rmtun tap0 post-down /sbin/ip link set eth0 down Or add another instance, like this : # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 172.16.0.253 netmask 255.255.0.0 network 172.16.0.0 broadcast 172.16.255.255 # The internet network interface auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 186.201.43.11 netmask 255.255.255.248 gateway 186.201.43.9 network 186.201.43.0 # The bridged vpn network interface iface br0 inet static pre-up /usr/sbin/openvpn --mktun --dev tap0 pre-up /usr/sbin/brctl addbr br0 address 172.16.0.2 network 172.16.0.0 broadcast 172.16.0.255 netmask 255.255.0.0 post-up /sbin/ip link set tap0 up post-up /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 tap0 post-up /sbin/ip link set eth0 up post-up /usr/sbin/brctl addif br0 eth0 post-down /usr/sbin/brctl delbr br0 post-down /usr/sbin/openvpn --rmtun tap0 post-down /sbin/ip link set eth0 down Yes, my system is a Debian Squeeze, with the Roberto packages . And yes, my local card is eth0 . Thanks in advance ...
