After doing a quick install and running through the the OpenVPN I am not seeing a way to setup an bridge VPN. Is the OpenVPN app capable of being configured through the GUI for a bridged VPN?

Specifically here is my situation.

I would like to setup untangle as an independent VPN box setting on a second edge of our network.

Network A = 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 (This is the network the VPN box will be on.)
Network B = Whatever roaming network the user may be on. (Assumed not to be 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0)

The goal is to allow clients to connect to the VPN box and it will then give them a local IP address. As in 10.250.0.0 (This is our VPN range.)

The attached image should clear up my goals.

So the Untangle box is in bridge mode behind a router (edge device). Untangle should work fine. You would have to create a redirect on port 1194 (openvpn port) to the Untangle box on the edge device.
I think it should work at that point.
(Also configure your public address under config->remote admin->access->public address)

I may be missing something but why would I need a redirect? The untangle box it self has a public IP. The "Edge Device" aka my router only handles the T2 and the routing needed for my public address range.

My goal is for OpenVPN to provide a local address "10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0". Specifically it must be in the 10.250.x.x range and I am unsure how to handle that. If I use 10.250.0.0 with a subnet of 255.0.0.0 it correctly wants to use 1.0.0.x but those are in use. If I use 10.250.0.0/255.255.0.0 it does properly give out IPs nothing routes and I am going to guess it's because untangle uses the 255.255.0.0 for the subnet when it should not.
