Thanks Justin
I was probably not clear enough.
I try to find a way to connect a tun interface (from openvpn) to OVS
bridge mostly to use port mirroring capabilities.
Adding tun interface directly will not work but I would like to know if
there is any way (patch / via tap or another way) to send the traffic
from tun interface to an OVS bridge.
My idea is to use this interface on OVS as a source port of a mirroring.
The challenge is how to send all the traffic from a tun interface to
another fake / tap / parch interface on OVS?
Many thanks for any tips or idea-workaround

Hi,
I already searched and find some discussion about openvswitch and openvpn.
In fact I would like to add a tun port to openvswitch to be able to manage it
like my other port in my ovs switch.
Is there best practices to follow to do it? I know layer 3 on ovs is not a good
idea and I am unable to make it work.
Is there a proper way to do it? Through patch or other bridged solutions?
I'm not sure I understand the question. OVS is an L2 bridge. You can write policies
based on L3 addresses or use a controller to implement routing, but it doesn't have that
functionality "out of the box".
