No, when bridging you must use the same subnet for each tunnel. When NOT bridging, you must use a different subnet for each tunnel. OpenVPN doesn't implement bridging directly -- it depends on kernel support. For example with linux you would use the brctl tool and with Windows XP you would select the adapters to be bridged with the mouse and select "bridging" from the right-click menu. > Wouldn't this defeat a primary attribute of bridging: broadcasting? Yes, using the same subnet for every tunnel is necessary for broadcasts to work. It is also the reason why ethernet bridging is less scalable than using a multiple subnet, non-bridging approach because every broadcast must be duplicated and sent through every tunnel which is participating in the bridge.
