Hi

You probably need this:

https://wiki.nethserver.org/doku.php?id=virtual_network_interface&s[]=dummy

This is a second (Internal) NIC for your NethServer. With this, OpenVPN is easy to set up!

My 2 cents

I think that a VPS should be connected via routed openvpn, not bridging.

Hi

Bridging is only if you need to pass over NON-TCP-IP packets, like old Appletalk or Netware’s IPX. Or maybe you have a mainframe at home, and need to access that from your laptop while “on the road”… If the mainframe has tcp-ip configured, this is not needed - use routing!

Anyone else uses routing…
