OpenVPN on the same Subnet (Linux) ?

[jennyforme]

Hello.

Is it possible to use OpenVPN linux on the same subnet ?
I want to use OpenVPN between LAN clients to the LAN server instead of ssh.

Client 1 - 10.20.30.40
Server - 10.20.30.5

I cant' find a good guide for this, all others are for Internet access on a different subnet.

Thank you.

Configure the OpenVPN as "bridged" (tap), not "routed" (tun).

Thank you.

I didn't see specific guides available on the openvpn website for a LAN only configuration.

Can the same VPN be made accessible from the outside (Internet) and be available to the LAN while configured as bridged ?

Best regards.
