To clarify, the issue is TCP or UDP connections that are sent thru the tunnel, not how the OpenVPN tunnel connection itself. So unless you run UDP services that transfer data (like NFS over UDP) via the tunnel, you should have no significant problems with UDP. BTW, using TCP for tunnelling is considered a bad idea by some: http://sites.inka.de/bigred/devel/tcp-tcp.html > For example, the client > would access msn video or youtube from their browser, connection then goes > through the VPN, then to the internet, then back to the VPN, then back to > the client.
