Just a quick note about the bridging script — completely unnecessary on a Debian (or Debian-like) system, and seems to be causing people a lot of confusion. Just put something like the following in /etc/network/interfaces:

——————————————

iface eth0 inet manual

auto br0
iface br0 inet static
pre-up /usr/sbin/openvpn –mktun –dev tap0
bridge_ports eth0 tap0
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

——————————————

If you receive an error to the effect of “Cannot ioctl TUNSETIFF tap0,” try tap1 instead.

That’s all there is to it — no silly scripts.

The server bridge line should use the following format:

server-bridge [netmask] [first ip to assign] [last ip to assign]

The final 2 parameters should match addresses on your local network which the openvpn server can assign to clients when they connect. It’s likely that you’ll need to change this in your setup if your local network isn’t using the 10.1.0.x range.

Hi,
I followed your guide and all seemed to go well untill I ran ./bridge start. At this point my server dropped off the network. I can get it on again by running ./bridge stop.

What have I configured wrong in the server.conf file?
server-bridge 255.255.255.0 10.1.0.236 10.1.0.245.
is this what it should be or should it be the ISP’s gateway.
Also what should the push .route be?

Thanks for your help.
