Well, I still don't see why it would need bridging. VPN actually joins two
different subnets together so it would really be a routing issue, not
bridging. Since this sounds like they have designed some type of
proprietary product you probably have to contact the OpenVPN people to find
out how they expect you to create an environment for it to function.
