VPN setup questions
And I have the following problem:
I've setup OpenVPN server on the particular instance and OpenVPN clients on other instances. Now I have an idea of using Linode's private IP addresses in order not to setup channels between instances. But they are in different data centers.
So, I guess I need an additional instance in each datacenter to have a channel setup to the VPN server. Is it possible?
And, is there's a way to set up routing correctly? Do Linode has different private IP ranges for each datacenter?
Also I figured out that Linode filters traffic which destination is not 192.168.128.0 subnet, but NAT should still work correctly?
Thanks!

The private IP range in each DC is the same however, as it's a private network, the private network in each DC is completely separate. Private network traffic will not leave the DC unless you forwarded it over a publically routable address.
Then I guess I gonna stay with current setup for now.
@rfeliciano:
Traffic not destined to your Linode will not reach your Linode. That is done simply for security reasons. If the Linode doesn't own the IP, it cannot receive that traffic.

Basically I was looking how I can simplify existing VPN configuration. But newcomers should find it useful.
