Correct procedure would be:

1. On each of your ovirt nodes run:

yum install vdsm-hook-macspoof

2. On the engine run:

sudo engine-config -s "UserDefinedVMProperties=macspoof=^(true|false)$"

3. Edit OpenVPN virtual machine settings and add a custom property 
containing macspoof keyword and set the value "true" for it.

If you want to remove filtering for a single interface, then replace 
steps 2 and 3 as outlined in the README.

Kind regards,

Ivan
