Hi I have trouble with pritunl VPN on bridge mode.

Did you actually create a bridge device on the Pritunl host?

It isn’t recommended to use bridged mode. It is most likely not the correct configuration for the use case. No online cloud providers support a bridged network. The virtual VPN network should be routed instead by removing NAT from the local network route and adding the virtual network to the local network routers routing table.

Would Routing method and adding the virtual network routers routing table, able to assign ip address of the VPC Network, so if you connect to another virtual machine on cloud on private network, it will show an ip of the network instead of vpn server?
