Hi,
I currently have a lan at home running with a 8 port gb switch and an asus rt-n56u with http://code.google.com/p/rt-n56u/ firmware. This is where we have a server that distributes small software updates to clients(embedded devices), which I have to take home and plug into my network over night once a month for them to be updated. Its kept at home because we really don't have space at work for it. 25/25Mbps wan connection 192.168.0/24
At work its is a work in progress we have just removed everything and currently only have a docsis modem and we are starting from scratch. I'm thinking to do a similar setup 8 port switch and some router that will allow openvpn. 25/10Mbps wan 192.168.20/24
Thats the simple part, the part I want more experienced opinions on is this. I would like a bridged site to site vpn, needs to be bridged because some of our apps use broadcast to intially discover available devices. The n56u can run openvpn as the server and I would like one of the ports of the router at work to be connected to the site to site vpn, then I can connect a switch to that 1 port and use it for that one specific task and the rest of the ports and maybe a 2nd switch for everything else.
So basically
HOME router running openvpn <--> work router running openvpn where the connection is only bridged to one port.
Am I being crazy?
