Ahhhh, yes! Now I get the message. I need tap for broadcasts but I don't need to bridge it. I did the change you said and the OpenVPN server started and I was able to connect from my local network. I had a friend connect to the VPN via the Internet but we couldn't see each other in Starcraft. With some searching, I found this: http://superuser.com/questions/335263/problem-playing-games-using-openvpn-that-use-broadcast-packets-other-games-work It says that games that use broadcasts do so in networks that have the lowest metric (I didn't know about 'metric' until now). I see that the OpenVPN adapter has higher metric than my Ethernet adapter, so it's possible that Starcraft doesn't scan all the networks, just the lowest one. Just note that the command to change the metric in the above link doesn't work, but these instructions do: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894564 I'll try again with a lower metric and also with the bridged mode. I'll post back if I was successful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Time is money. Stop wasting it!
