Hi Doug, A while back I tried OpenVPN (mac client @ home behind NAT/Router--- >linux server on open network) and although other stuff worked, I could not get AG going (I was not using bridged mode though.....I was using the other mode.....don't remember right now).
I have since tried to run it with an L2TP type VPN (Mac notebook running osx behind NAT/Router --> Mac OSX Server on open network) and AG3 works quite well. I've been able to get somewhere near 14-16 videos smoking my 6Mb dsl link. I've also tried this from behind a firewall at work (mac notebook behind a really strict firewall blocking ports 1024+ UDP/TCP ---> same mac OSX server on open network) and AG3 works fine. So to answer your question OpenVPN did not work for me and I admit it was not the same situation you're describing. L2TP worked fine behind NAT and also behind a pretty strict firewall.
