Your question isn’t so clear, but I guess it’s just classical routing here. Nevertheless, I don’t see why there should be MAC addresses on a L3 tunnel, the other end can’t be anything else than the client (or the server if you’re looking at the server side). -- Alarig _______________________________________________ Openvpn-users mailing list Openvpn-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-users
