Bridging VPN-connection to physical NIC

Hi,

I want to provide VPN-connection to a embedded device. I have the server and client up and running, and communicating the way I want.

On the client side I run Windows 10. I use a laptop and connect over Wi-Fi. I need the win10-client to initiate the connection, but the connection must be "bridged" from the VPN to the embedded device connected to the laptops ethernet-nic. I need to maintain layer 2 communication.

I was praying that just using the bridge-function in Windows to do this, but that does not seem to work.

(switching to Linux on the client-side could be an option)

I think SoftEther VPN Bridge is for that.
If you want to use the Client, you have to enable "bridge/router mode" in advanced settings.
