what is there difficult?
you only need to generate the certs and a config like the follwoing
and for the client nearly 1:1 the same config and you start openvpn
on the client automatically as service

cat /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf
# We are working as server
mode server
tls-server

# Which TCP/UDP port should OpenVPN listen on?
port 1194

# TCP or UDP server?
proto udp

# Protocol options
tun-mtu 1500
mssfix
key-method 2

# tun is an IP tunnel,
# tap an ethernet tunnel and used with bridges
dev tap0

# SSL/TLS root certificate (ca)
# certificate (cert), and private key (key).
# Each client and the server must have their own cert and key file.
# The server and all clients will use the same ca file.
ca /etc/openvpn/ca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/server.crt
key /etc/openvpn/server.key
tls-auth /etc/openvpn/ta.key 0

# Diffie hellman parameters.
dh /etc/openvpn/dh1024.pem

# auth method
auth SHA1

# encryption method
cipher AES-256-CBC

# TAP-Configuration
server-bridge 10.0.0.134 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.241 10.0.0.252

# Uncomment this directive to allow different
# clients to be able to "see" each other.
client-to-client

# Uncomment this directive if multiple clients
# might connect with the same certificate/key
# files or common names.
duplicate-cn

# The keepalive directive causes ping-like
# messages to be sent back and forth over
# the link so that each side knows when
# the other side has gone down.
keepalive 10 120

# Enable compression on the VPN link.
# If you enable it here, you must also
# enable it in the client config file.
comp-lzo

# The maximum number of concurrently connected
# clients we want to allow.
max-clients 20

# It's a good idea to reduce the OpenVPN
# daemon's privileges after initialization.
user nobody
group nobody

# The persist options will try to avoid
# accessing certain resources on restart
# that may no longer be accessible because
# of the privilege downgrade.
persist-key
persist-tun

# Logging and chroot
status /var/log/openvpn/openvpn-status.log
log  /var/log/openvpn/openvpn.log
chroot /var/log/openvpn

# 0 is silent, except for fatal errors
# 4 is reasonable for general usage
# 5 and 6 can help to debug connection problems
# 9 is extremely verbose
verb 3

# Silence repeating messages.
mute 20

# do not allow user-defined scripts

ok, a bridge service should also run on the server

cat /etc/init.d/openvpn-bridge
#!/bin/bash

# openvpn-bridge
# This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
# network-bridge on RedHat or other chkconfig-based system.
#
# chkconfig: - 23 76

# Requires package 'bridge-utils'
