Doing things TAP (bridging) is an overhead, for OpenVPN choosing TUN
(routing) is apparently faster - so I invested a bit of time and
implemented the latter on a Pi2/Jessie down to the point of even
relaying broadcasts packets to the local lan, playing nice with
SMB/samba and compatible firewall rules all over the shop.

Amazed how fast it is - I'm not into VPN as a proxy geo thing, just need
access to my own network when I'm somewhere else, even over an iPhone -
which for kicks maintains a perfect Windows RDP session on 4G while I'm
travelling into London on an overground section of the tube.
