Hi, Alex I am doing totally the same thing with you. My OS is FreeBSD 4.4 and running bridged mode. Openvpn on FreeBSD with bridged mode is working fine for me. My XP can even get an IP address from FreeBSD via DHCP. After reviewing your configuration, the only one question I want to know is that if you explicitly set an IP address for your tap interface on FreeBSD? It seems not let IP traffice thru the bridged interface if you didn't assign an IP address for the tap interface on BSD.
