Can't the peer send you what it wants on the tunnel and spoof another
client thus sending packets to the wrong bridged interface?
Yes, you are right. OpenVPN does not attempt to block a client spoofing
another clients IP adress, basically bacause OpenVPN is then working on
layer 2 rather than layer 3 and is not even looking at the IP address.
You can however use a --learn-address script to update your ebtables rules
so you can match the mac address of each client. When this script is
called you will be given both the CN of the client and the mac address so
you can add appropriate ebtables rules.
