Bridging OpenVPN Connections to Local Networks
The OpenVPN configurations discussed to this point have all been routed, using tun interfaces. This is the preferable method, but OpenVPN also offers the option of using tap interfaces and bridging clients directly onto the LAN or other internal network. This can make the remote clients appear to be on the local LAN.
