server.conf file

Post by gabriel.rosseel » Sat Aug 12, 2017 11:04 am

This is my first contact with this forum and OpenVPN.
I've installed OpenVPN following instructions from the site: https://sys.jonaharagon.com/2016/05/12/setting-up-an-openvpn-server-on-a-raspberry-pi-2-part-12/
Didn't getting any errors during install but there is one entry in the /etc/openvpn/server.conf that I don't understand:

server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
# server and remote endpoints
ifconfig 10.8.0.1 10.8.0.2
# Add route to Client routing table for the OpenVPN Server
push "route 10.8.0.1 255.255.255.255"
# Add route to Client routing table for the OpenVPN Subnet
push "route 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0"

Should I substitute the 10.8.0.x addresses with other address or leave them as thet are?
I don't know where these addresses come from.
thanks for any answers in advance,
gabriël

You should report to the author of that tutorial that it is wrong.
