OpenVPN in Bridge mode not working

[cstephane@…]

The generation of the 'ovpn_config.zip' shouldn't be different weather or not La Fonera is in Router mode / Bridge mode...?

I'm not sure what you're saying: Is the config different in bridge mode, or do you think it should be? What problems are you seeing in bridge mode?

[cstephane@…]

OpenVPN is Working fine in Router mode... But in Bridge mode, no result at all !

Its seems that the 'ovpn_config.zip' have to be rewritten with a new setup (new route).

You mean that the OpenVPN connection from the client fails alltogether? Or does it work, but not allow you to connect to the Fonera (on 192.168.10.1). I think I found a bug that should cause the latter...

I can't establish any OpenVPN connection from the client to the Fonera 2N 2.3.6.1 in Bridge mode. (It is working fine in Router mode)

Hmm, it did work for me in bridge mode (at least the connection was established, the routes were wrong). Are you sure that it's not another problem related to the static address you configure in bridge mode? Perhaps you set up the wrong netmask or gateway, or perhaps you changed the address and forgot to update a port forwarding on your modem?

Hello,

I think I have the same problem here.

Fonera2n with 2.3.6.1 and Internet configured as Bridge.

My Problem with the openvpn is that the connection is established, but no packets come trough - I guess wrong routes.

I would be glad to get further advice :)

kontakt, your problem seems to be a different one: You can connect the OpenVPN network, but not packets are sent through it, while cstephane cannot connect entirely. The bug kontakt is describing has been fixed in SVN (r1847), see #1036 for the ticket and a workaround.

The bug described by cstephane is still waiting for his answers, since I have not been able to reproduce the problem yet.
