# Description

I've setup a tap/bridged VPN using this guide to get into my host-only subnet from the internet. Although the VPN connects, I can't seem to access any of the GOAD hosts on the host-only adapter's subnet. I'd appreciate some help on figuring out why this is (nothing has been changed about regarding the GOAD setup).

# Setup

# Method to reproduce

<TRUNCATED DUE TO CHARECTER LIMIT - SEE FULL DETAILS IN THE GOAD PROJECT ISSUE https://github.com/Orange-Cyberdefense/GOAD/issues/233>

# What I expect

Services running on the GOAD machines should be exposed to the VPN client

# What I've tried
  • Disabled firewall rules
  • Restarted VMs and system
  • Used [sample config and server files from the openvpn repository](https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/t...e-config-files)
  • Bringing relevant adapters up and down
  • Tracking openvpn traffic with wireshark (only ARP traffic seems present on the tap0 and br0 interfaces)
My suspicion in that there is something wonky with the internal networking on my host but can't prove it
