Hi Alex, I originally guessed the reason is that you didn't assign an IP address to tap device when I first saw your question. And I just did a real test on my box and the result shows that my assumption is true. If I removed the IP address from my tap device, the traffic thru the tap device stopped. ( ps. the VPN connection is still up) I don't know why, and I think it is not reasonable. So, could you do a test to set IP address on tap0 to see if it works ? According to your bridge sysctl value : net.link.ether.bridge_cfg: fxp0:1,tap0:1 You have fxp0 and tap0 on the same bridge group. You can simply set the IP of tap0 as any IP within the same subnet of fxp0.
