Hello guys, I have been trying to bridge my OpenVPN TAP interface to my second NIC (eth1) but i cant get it to work. I have been able to bridge from eth0 (internet cable/On-board NIC) to eth1 (second NIC) and it went through successfully. The .ovpn-file that i downloaded from the client area here on airvpn have these commands: client dev tun proto udp remote se.vpn.airdns.org 443 resolv-retry infinite nobind persist-key persist-tun remote-cert-tls server cipher AES-256-CBC comp-lzo no route-delay 5 verb 3 explicit-exit-notify 5 I'm using linux mint and when i run the .ovpn file from terminal with tun-interface i connects successfully to airvpn without problems but as you know i cant use tun-interfaces in bridges so i tried to change (dev tun) to (dev tap) and tried (dev tap0) yoo but couldnt connect to airvpn at all. In terminal when running the command (ifconfig) i see that the openvpn tap-interface sends packets but not receiving any. (see attachment) my only problem is to get my Openvpn connection to work with tap-interface instead with tun-interface so i can bridge it to eth1 and my problem is solved. Am I missing something on the .ovpn-file other than chaning (dev tun) to (dev tap)? I tried googling but with no results. Thanks in advance!
