[Openvpn-users] Re: LAN gaming over openVPN

[Oliver Wittkopf <oliver.wittkopf@xxxxxxxx>]

until now, im using the tap device for my openvpn network. my problem 
is, that the clients cant ping each other with their "real" ips. in my 
opinion, the broadcasts are responsable.
i now read this quote:

it seams that in my case, the tun device is the better opinion. but an 
openvpn sample config says something else, i think:


openvpn sample-config
# You must use 'tap'
# if you are ethernet bridging or want to route
# broadcasts.  'tun' is somewhat more efficient
# but requires configuration of client software
# to not depend on broadcasts.

how could i handle, that i can ping all clients with all possible ips?
