Hi folks, I've been trying to create a layer2 VPN using FreeBSD boxes as the gateways. The 2 methods I thought of are:- a) Create a tunnel between the 2 gateways using gif interfaces, and bridge the gifs onto a real NIC. b) Using openvpn in bridging mode, and bridge the tap device onto a real NIC. Both methods seem to work fine, unless I try and put 802.1Q traffic down the VPN, in which case neither method works. Is there some fundamental reason as to why this would not work, or am I just flailing?? (I'm pretty sure everything is configured right, my tagged traffic is fine without the VPN in the equation, and also the VPN is fine with no tagged traffic) If this is just not going to work, and I should stop now, does anybody have any suggestions as to how I might achieve this in FreeBSD? Regards, Dunc
