Bug Description
I've spent the better part of a day troubleshooting the TAP Server config for OpenVPN as described here:
https:/
I finally found that the reason it wasn't working was that if your Ubuntu server is running as a VMware VM, you must change the vSwitch properties on the ESXi server to Allow promiscuous mode.
Symptoms: Able to ping server, but nothing on the lan
Resolution: Adjust vSwitch properties as shown here: http://
Credit for the hint: http://
I just want to save others the trouble. The guide should mention this with the prevalence of VMs today.
