To sum up, just make sure the Server and the Clients use the same parameters (same authentication, same port, same protocol, etc.). The most important aspect of a TAP configuration is that it just bridges two network segments and '''doesn't create a different virtual network'''. Therefore, as in the example provided above, the routers should be be in the '''same subnet''' (192.168.1.0 in this case). While making sure of that, don't forget that the routers can't have the same IP address, just the same subnet (for example, if both routers have the LAN IP 192.168.1.1, the connection won't work; if one has, for example, 192.168.1.1 and the other 192.168.1.2, then the connection will work).

For this example we used TLS Authentication. If you want to use a different Authentication method, refer to the other relevant sections of this article. The authentication configuration will not be different because of the OpenVPN type (TUN or TAP).

From the Client side, make sure to enter the correct '''Remote host/IP address''' (193.186.223.42 in this case). This is the Server's Public IP address, not the LAN IP address.
