I am trying to set up a tap server and multiple clients (all linux based machines). However, it seems that these clients are all getting the same virtual address. This causes the connection to be very unstable because clients keep "fighting" for these few virtual addresses that are being handed out. This can also be seen in the below in the logs:

When looking at the routing table in real-time and the logs, we can see that the Common Names bound to the virtual addresses are constantly changing between clients. They seem to all be trying to use these same virtual addresses. I saw in another post that you need to make sure the common names in the certs are unique for each client but this is the case. I also attached the server and one of the client configurations.
