Hello List, I have this old problem I did not find a solution yet. The endpoints are running OpenVPN 2.4.6 respectively. The setup is bridged like this:
Net A ---> (br0) Debian OpenVPN Bridge server 1 (tap0) --> Internet --> (tap0) Debian OpenVPN Bridge server 2 (br0) --> Net B Net A and B is the same subnet. The problem is that there are some hosts which can't be resolved in layer2 when going from A to B. For example running a ping against one machine on B and arp -an on a machine in A would get you: ? (10.0.0.15) at <incomplete> on wlan0 I can even add a static ARP entry on server 1 for this machine, it won't help. However as soon as I ping that machine from VPN server 1, ARP will start working and the machine will become reachable from the whole A network. What is annoying about this is that this does not happen for all the machines. Did anyone run into this problem? A workaround could be to fping the whole subnet from the router periodically but if there is a better solution I would just take that (or if this is a known bug and it was fixed in a later OpenVPN release I might consider upgrading the endpoints).
