I have configured on my Ubuntu a VPN server using PPTPD. I can connect to it from outside of my LAN, I can use it's internet connection. But I cannot see my LAN clients (because the VPN and the LAN are on different networks).
This is my configuration:
– PPTP VPN: 10.99.99.0/24, localip: 10.99.99.99
– LAN: 192.168.1.0/24
Is it possible somehow to create a bridge between my LAN and the PPTP VPN? So that I can access the clients from the LAN also. If so, how can I do that?
As I understood the PPTP VPN must be configured on a different network than the LAN.

It is possible to configure PPTP VPN to use same subnet the LAN uses. I used it with such configuration. Or, you can add firewall rules to allow traffic between the two different subnets like following:
By the way, beware that PPTP is compromised protocol; consider PPTP as unencrypted protocol.
