OpenVPN Mikrotik server - broadcast traffic

Sat Apr 09, 2022 2:17 am

Hi,

Anyone figured out a setup that allows VPN clients to receive broadcast traffic from the VPN Server's internal LAN? I'm using openVPN on Android, iOS, MacOS and in order to reach some internal LAN devices like AirPrint-enabled printers, smart devices I have to either manually set them up via IP (printers for example), use some dedicated apps, access them directly via IP or totally unable to use them because their apps rely on some type of broadcasts, (Layer 2?). I read about using dev-tap with OpenVPN in order to achieve this, creating a bridge between the tap interface and the eth interface but I coul'd find a working setup. If I'm not mistaken Mikrotik OpenVPN implementation also uses TCP, not UDP.



Was wondering if anyone has a working OpenVPN client to site that allows full L2 connection.
