Description

In avahi_settings.php, there is a list of network interfaces. Mine shows LAN, DMZ, WAN2. The list is missing my "WAN" and "OpenVPN" interfaces.

If I select all 3 interfaces on the list, I cannot use the "chrome cast" feature from a remote PC that is connected to OpenVPN because the OpenVPN interface is not selected (since it is missing from the list). But, if I leave all 3 unselected, that tells Avahi to use "all interfaces" and I am then able to use the cast feature over the OpenVPN connection. Since Avahi apparently works with OpenVPN even though the interface is hidden from the list, I think the OpenVPN interface should be included on the list for users to select.

Also interesting about the list: why is my WAN2 interface displayed but not my WAN interface? It seems both should be displayed or both not displayed.

Avahi already shows all enabled interfaces
all you need to do is assign and enable the OpenVPN interface
