openvpn tap configuration

[andreask]

Hello archers...

I am facing a problem with a bridged openvpn configuration.
I've followed the steps in the arch wiki on how to setup the openvpn on bridged/tap but for some reason I am stuck.
Whenever I start the bridged network (netctl start bridge-profile). I loose the connection to my raspberry pi (2). I have to login then locally and stop the bridged net to be able to connect once again.
Tap profile loads succesfully.
I also have created an tun profile (openvpn) whitch works perfectly but I need the bridged net because I want to share upnp via the vpn. I've read somewhere that upnp does not work via tun.
(Though it's weired, because on my phone (note 4) upnp client works fine when I connect to vpn.)

I am probably missing something in the wiki, but I don't know what!
* i've also tried the version from openvpn. But still no luck
Please help the poor ignorant guy! :)

my bridge netctl profile
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '>
Description="Bridge connection"
Interface=br0
Connection=bridge
BindsToInterfaces=(eth0 tap0)
IP=static
Address=('192.168.2.1/24')
Gateway=('192.168.2.254')
DNS=('192.168.2.254')
## Ignore (R)STP and immediately activate the bridge
#SkipForwardingDelay=yes
')

my tap netctl profile
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '>
Description='Tuntap connection'
Interface=tap0
Connection=tuntap
Mode='tap'
User='nobody'
Group='nobody'

## Example IP configuration
#IP=static
#Address='10.10.1.2/16'')

Thank you for your help!

When you create the bridge it steals the IP address from your NIC. Check to see if your router has a assigned a new IP address to the RPI.
