OpenVPN in "Bridge" mode

Hi.

It really works correctly and without any problem as long as the server is configured by default in NAT, but in my case, I have one in "Bridge" mode, and this is what it shows me.

Do you know if there is any way to also show users for when the server is working in bridge mode?

Thanks and congratulations on the development

I have not tried this mode before. If you run telnet localhost 5555 and then status 3, state, load-stats, what is the output?

@jacrespo64 did that work?

Hello,
I have the same problem. With a classic TUN configuration everything works, but in my case, I use a TAP configuration with external DHCP server and the monitor does NOT show the details of the connections. I think the problem is that openvpn doesn't know the ip released by the DHCP server and the Monitor use this value as key... is there any way to use the remote address as a key? Or maybe you know how to make the OpenVPN server recognize the IP client issued by an external DHCP?
