Linux bridge for virtual machines not forwarding IP packets (but is forwarding ARP)

How can I create a Wi-Fi hotspot with the command line tool nmcli and share/bridge the ethernet internet connection with the wireless access point? Furthermore, how can I start this automatically at boot?
I’m trying to set up a system that joins an untagged Ethernet network to a TAP tunnel, adding a VLAN tag as the traffic moves to the tunnel.
I am using Raspberry Pi using Raspbian which is just Debian.
I have an ethernet port attached to a bridge:
As far as I know, there are 4 main types of network interfaces in Linux: tun, tap, bridge and physical.
I have a bridge set up between my physical Ethernet interface, eth0, and the virtual interface for OpenVPN, tap0. The bridge has an IP address, and the machine can be contacted on that IP address from either interface. However, I don’t know what to configure to get traffic flowing across the bridge, between the interfaces.
Say I create a bridge interface on linux (br0) and add to it some interfaces (eth0, tap0, etc.). My understanding is that this interface act like a virtual switch with all its interfaces/ports that I add to it.
