I've been experimenting with an Untangle box as a transparent bridge (ie. 'router' is turned off) between my internet connection and my network, protecting against spam, virii, and phishing. The internal and external addresses are the same, and all of the live IP addresses behind the Untangle are visible from the internet (which is what I want).
What I can't seem to do is to get OpenVPN to handle routing properly. I've tried a private address pool, an address pool within my live subnet, and several combinations of exported networks, with no success. I can generate keys and connect to the VPN, but I cannot access anything within the VPN or the exported subnets (not even the untangle box itself!).
Should this even be possible? If so, what do I need to do to get it to work? I know OpenVPN can work on a machine not configured as a router, because I've set up servers that way, but I'm striking out on this one.
