Hello everybody,
I need to bridge two different LANs with OpenVPN. According to all I read, both
LAN segments need to share the same subnet. All documentation refers to
examples within a /24 network.
As of now my own LAN is 10.10.1.0/24, the opposite side is 10.10.10.0/24.
To prevent the confusion that is preprogrammed by changing all IP numbers in
one LAN, would it make sense to change the netmask on all clients and both
gateways' bridges to /16 ? This would put both segmants into the same subnet,
right?
This may be an immense waste of number space, but I doubt that I will run into
IP number scarcity in this private setup :),
Any drawbacks in using such a huge netmask, maybe I miss something obvious here?
Thanks in advance,
Hellmut
