Should we use "Bridge Connections" in Windows?

Recommended Posts

After installing the AirVPN client, I see an additional network connection in my Windows (XP) network connections: Local Area Connection (TAP-Win23 adapter).

Note: Before installing AirVPN, I only had my regular "Wireless Network Connection" in Windows (XP) network connections.

Now, Windows XP would allow me to "bridge" these two connections by selecting them both and right clicking on them and choosing "Bridge Connections".

Should I do that?

What would happen?

Thank you for any info!

Hello!

The TAP-Win32 interface is the virtual network adapter used by OpenVPN. Air is a routed VPN, not bridged, and uses a TUN interface. Please also see here:
