What I'm trying to do is launch a bridged OpenVPN server on GCP (in a GCE VM). What looks like a crucial part to me is in the title. If I succeed, the rest is supposedly easy. I tried two approaches:
- The Arch Linux way... the
iproute2
way actually. I asked about it on the Arch Linux forum. The details are in a gist. - The OpenVPN way... the
bridge-utils
way actually. Based on the script from the official howto. The details are in a gist.
It looks like it's not possible to do it on GCP, or am I missing something? Which is it? Or what can I do to further investigate the issue?
