I've always seen this as (YA) flaw in Windows. Bridging seems to be the lazy man's way of avoiding configuring Windows networking properly (admittedly, this is not a simple task), especially with OpenVPN. Bridging should be left to switches, they're the professionals! > For linux, I find that running firestarter, ICS/Firewall is fine, my > end game is to get all of my traffic to go over an OpenVPN tunnel at > my colo which is the default gateway over OpenVPN.
