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:

I'll try again with a lower metric and also with the bridged mode. I'll 
post back if I was successful.
