Server IP in TUN mode

jacekt

Hi,

I have a question. By default in config for TUN setup we have:

# Configure server mode and supply a VPN subnet
# for OpenVPN to draw client addresses from.
# The server will take 10.8.0.1 for itself,
# the rest will be made available to clients.
# Each client will be able to reach the serv
# on 10.8.0.1. Comment this line out if you are
# ethernet bridging. See the man page for more info.
server 172.16.101.0 255.255.255.0

Now the problem is that my server cannot get IP with .1 in the last octet, because my server is behind another device which is a gateway for him.

Is it possible to force customized server IP ??

Traffic

Which version of openvpn are you using ?

Traffic

For what it is worth:

Presuming you mean server LAN is 172.16.101.0/24 and the LAN gateway is 172.16.101.1 then your OpenVPN server VPN subnet has to be something other than 172.16.101.0/24 .. the example given is 10.8.0.0/24 and the server IP is 10.8.0.1 and so there is no IP conflict.

Yes, manually expand --server ..
