Hello Simon,<br><br>I was just researching this a bit more and was thinking of using except-interface=<openvpn_interface>. Would the no-dhcp-interface be a better choice?<br><br>Thanks,<br>J Silverman<br><br><b><i>Simon Kelley <simon@thekelleys.org.uk></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> J Silverman wrote:<br>> Hi All,<br>> <br>> Here's my situation: I have two Openwrt running routers that have a<br>> openvpn bridged network setup between them.
