Hi all,
at office me and my collegaue have configured an Ubuntu Server 10.04
with OpenVPN (2.1~rc19-1ubuntu2) in bridged mode and shorewall
4.2.10-1.
Here a schematic representation:

The ubuntu host is in the lan, it has several interface but only one
is working (eth0) and is not connected directly to the router/mode.
The eth0 interface is bridged to the tap0 (virtual) interface in the
br0 interface.
br0 has the provate ip 192.168.100.3.
On the router/modem there's a NAT 1-to-1 of a static public IP versus
the ubuntu server machine (89.x.y.z -> 192.168.100.3).
Actually several roadwarriors use to connect to the lan office and the
relative shares (this is why the bridged mode is needed).


I've read the documents on the shorewall site web and now I'm confused
about several question.
Some question:

- From OpenVPN docs I know that in the bridged mode the br0 interface
must be not firewalled. So in my case is useless a firewall?

- Anyway using shorewall is corretc to put in the intefaces file for
zone/interface/broadcast/options the only line "lan br0
192.168.100.255 routeback" with no net zone?

My doubt is: if I have not to firewall the br0 interface I've to put
in the policy file the ACCEPT policy to lan->net and net->lan and
consequently no control at all.

Any advice to clarify this doubts?
Thanks,

Marco
