Title: [Openvpn-users] does linux machine need to accept the virtualnetwork

If the linux machine is just forwarding packets between the two VPN host,

and it is already working, the not extra settings are needed for the tunneled

packets. They are hidden (encrypted) from it anyway.

Subject: [Openvpn-users] does linux machine need to accept the virtualnetwork

Dear openvpn users:

I'm new - new to vpn, and linux, and this is my first
post, so be gentle.  Consider:

There is a winvpn server, a winvpn client, and a linux
machine in between.  The winvpn server and clients are
on the same Lan, with the linux machine being a
firewall to the outside world. 

I've been reading the howto - and there's something
I'm not clear about.  When the virtual network is
created by the server, it shouldn't be a subset or a
superset of the physical network, correct?

Let say the physical is 192.168.1.0/24, and the
virtual is 192.168.2.0/24.

Do I have to accept packets with 192.168.2.0/24
addresses in the forward chain in iptables of the
linux machine?

Thanks in advance
