As far as I know there's no problem with having a single nic on your PC because when you install OpenVPN it will create the Win32-TAP Adapter which can use any ip network you want, so if you are running the server on your PC, clients will connect to the TAP adapter, already bridged to your Local Area Connection with a native Windows Ethernet Bridge or using a software solution like Ethernet Bridge 2.0. The server will DHCP to connecting VPN clients an IP address on its IP network from a specified pool in server.ovpn config file. I have that setup and works fine with Ethernet Bridge 2.0 Regards, -- Gustavo Verduzco Vazquez ComXInt Consulting S.A.
