Good afternoon Hao,

I think it's pretty nice Openstack guys to have selected OpenVPN as cloudpipe vpn server… basically unless IMHO it's of the best vpn servers… I would trust on it for securing any connection…. have you ever played with it??

Regards,

To my understanding, the packets unencapped at the edge of destination network, they are going to face the similar issue no mather what kind of VPN is, source and dest MAC addresses are on the same network and it makes network devices confused.
