| 54 | | Please understand that in both setups, '''basic networking knowledge is a must'''. You do need to understand basic network ''routing'' and ''firewalling'', no matter if use use routing, bridging, TUN or TAP. Both TUN and TAP devices supports traditional network routing, so you are not required to use bridging with TAP. But using bridges, you need in addition to know how bridges work and how this changes your firewalling. To say it simple: Bridging will complicate your setup further. Of course, there are scenarios where bridging really is the right solution. But in most cases you will most likely solve your VPN setup with basic routing. |
