Re: [Efw-user] OpenVPN same subnet connections

Hi Vassilis,

such a topology is difficult to handle, so my advise is to change
the subnet on the smaller site to be something diffrent.
This way you can enjoy endian full power of the management interface.

If you really want that pain of connecting two sites using the same
net, you probably should consider not to use routing at all.
In that case try bridging, not routing.
Unfortunatelly you are at your own, because endian doesnt suport
such a setup, AFAIK.

The other possibility, is to setup routing for each host adresses.
Creating routes with a mask of /32 will override the network mask
of /24 for that destinations.
