Referring to this answer I'm trying to route UDP streaming through an available OpenVPN tunnel. On the VPN client machine, I've access to a UDP stream over an IP (udp://1.2.3.4:5555) which I want to listen to it on VPN server machine through that vpn tunnel. I tried different questions and couldn't find my answer. Here's the VPN connection status:

VPN Server which I want to get the UDP stream on

tap0 inet addr:100.64.100.1 Bcast:100.64.100.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

And

VPN Client which I have access to that UDP stream on

tap0 inet addr:100.64.100.2 Bcast:100.64.100.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

Any reference or help is appreciated,

Your configuration does not look ok. On the one hand you are using a tap0 interface, which indicates the use of a bridged OpenVPN, which is perfect. But on the other hand, the interfaces have public, rouable addresses, while they should have private, non-routable addresses belonging to the LAN to which the client is trying to connect.

This being said, stream an UDP stream is simple, vlc can do it, see for instance this very good guide.

  • Thanks for your reply Marius, that vlc guide is providing information about starting an stream. But in my case, I do have access to an available UDP stream on my VPN client and want to send it to the VPN server through the tunnel and view it there. – Mehdi Nov 17 '14 at 16:33
  • By the way, the tunnel between both servers is already established. So I think the current step is to set routes for source and destination so when things are called on VPN server, they flow through the current bridged tunnel. Any clue? – Mehdi Nov 17 '14 at 18:01
