Yeah no that's not right. You can setup the OpenVPN server as a router with
or without NAT to provide access to the whole lan. One of the easiest setups
is to use two wrt54GLs as servers to join the two networks. You could use
bridging but I would think routing is easier as you don't need to worry
about the remote networks having the same IPs. Of course you do have to
worry about routing tables so you may need to use rip or something to
broadcast the routes.

My concern with using 2 wrt54GLs for a VPN is how much encrypted bandwidth
are they going to be able to handle. Anyone set something like that up? Any
benchmarks?
