Hi,
I'm getting a bit overwhelmed...*sigh
Is it possible to use Cryptostorm within a transparent bridging context on Linux? My reading - and attempts to bridge - indicate bridges hate Tun. Is there a way to achieve a transparent bridge in this context, or perhaps another solution amounting to the same effect?
I'm chasing the following -
ISP router (modem only mode) --- Odroid C2 running OpenVPN (on Debian derivative OS) --- Main Router (RT-AC68U running Tomato Shibby)
I'd like '68U to run all services apart from Openvpn. But I'm getting a bit lost.
I've thought about going the fixed IP route, but will I then have to have the C2 doing DHCP and DNS?
Just a nudge in the right direction would be most helpful.
Odroid C2 transparent bridge.

Can I assume that the RT-AC68U doesn't have the horsepower you need for OpenVPN? Would this be the sole purpose of the C2, to run OpenVPN?

Need is probably too strong a term. More would be nice, but I don't really mind paying a tax for the benefits this service provides. I just like to tinker.
So, yes,I intend the C2 to be a more-or-less single issue device running Openvpn/CS. Although, saying that, having a box outside the LAN interests me for the perspective it could give. Still, one thing at a time.
Bridging seems a dead-end, unless I'm missing something. A signpost would be appreciated. I'll brute-force my ignorance from that point forth.

Well from what I've seen/read/experienced, while bridges are network addressable I don't think they can route traffic as well, so I don't think you'll be initiating OpenVPN sessions from it.

Re: Odroid C2 transparent bridge.
Yeah, bridging a dead end.
iptables and dnsmasq (also handling DHCP) are the direction I'm going now, plus sysctl.conf changes to harden, and using the router just as an access point ...not as complex or scary as I first thought, now I'm getting my hands dirty with it. My fixed approach was the main problem, I think.
The linux mist is clearing a little in doing all this. I'm still not quite Neo when he finally gets the matrix, but it's there somewhere ahead...somewhere
I'll post up my script when I get chance to get back on it. Life's conspiring somewhat at the moment.

Re: Odroid C2 transparent bridge.
Well, those kernels are pretty old though. I am pretty sure this is some kernel issue where module auto-loading doesn't work they way it does these days.
