OpenVPN does not assign IP address to the TAP interface. Line:
Fri Mar 15 12:48:56 2019 us=884765 Notified TAP-Windows driver to set a DHCP IP/netmask of 172.16.0.1/255.255.255.252 on interface {58189E5C-5783-4465-9893-22D8ADB0EC5B} [DHCP-serv: 172.16.0.2, lease-time: 31536000]
is printed into console window after program startup, but no IP address is assigned. Interface got Windows link local address 169.254.224.160/16
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3927#page-31 instead. Windows console window is started with administrator privileges, TAP interface is switched to DHCP mode. There is a directive
server 172.16.0.0 255.255.255.0
in the 'server.ovpn' file so I expect the address 172.16.0.1 goes to TAP interface but its not. Connected clients have ip addresses started from 172.16.0.2
and see each other. I need to see clients from server machine too, what am I doing wrong?
