  • I want to connect from PC1 to PC2 across the network.
  • PC1 and SERVER "Client" are connected to the OpenVPN SERVER as client.

I've set up all openvpn and i can successfully pin the client server from pc1. Nevertheless, i can't ping PC2 from PC1. I think i must create a bridge between wlan0 and tun0 but i don't have any idea how to do that !

Any ideas ?

  1. OpenVPN can be set up as a "router" so clients can communicate with each other. Uncomment client-to-client in your server.conf file, then restart the service and the tunnels.
