[Openvpn-users] Unable to broadcast in bridged-mode

Good day,

 

I am very new at OpenVPN and have ran through quite a couple of the online examples – both those on Sourceforge, as well as the HOWTO’s on OpenVPN.net.

 

My connection:

 

Client  (Windows XP) è Internet è Shorewall Firewall & OpenVPN  on CentOS4.2è LAN

 

I can connect from the internet to the VPN server no problem, even ping the machines on the LAN, but I am unable to do broadcasts over the link.

 

The purpose for the setup is primarily for gaming, as many of my friends live about 800miles from me!

 

I am not sure if it is a shorewall issue, as I used to use turtlefirewall, but wanted to try something more scalable.

 

My configs:

 

BRIDGE:

#!/bin/bash

br="br0"

tap="tap0"

eth="eth1"

eth_ip="192.168.50.254"

eth_netmask="255.255.255.0"

eth_broadcast="192.168.50.255"

for t in $tap; do

    openvpn --mktun --dev $t

done

brctl addbr $br

brctl addif $br $eth

for t in $tap; do

    brctl addif $br $t

done

for t in $tap; do

    ifconfig $t 0.0.0.0 promisc up

done

ifconfig $eth 0.0.0.0 promisc up

ifconfig $br $eth_ip netmask $eth_netmask broadcast $eth_broadcast
