Hello, I run a layer 2 (bridging) large OpenVPN network linking ethernet interfaces, wifi interfaces, software bridges, tap interfaces, etc.
The idea behind the layer 2 virtual network was for maximum flexibility: it is an educational network where people must collaboratively manage it (including setting up their own DHCP server, WiFi authentification, etc). It works like a charm. As this is an educational network, there are times where I want to see all exchanged traffic, for debugging or illustrative purposes. What I noticed is if "client-to-client" is not enabled, then the layer 2 does not work, and with it enabled, it works, but I don't see inter-client trafic on the main VPN server. Question 1: how may I see inter-client trafic on the main VPN ? Question 2: would VLAN work in this setup ? I have already deployed VLANs trunks on ethernet and wifi, but not so far attempted to make the VLAN tagged frames travel through OpenVPN, is there anything special to do so it works, or does it automagically works (no VLAN isolation required, just trunk mode) ? If it is not possible, then I will implement multiple VPNs, each with its own bridged VLAN. Thank your for your input. _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
