The
man page shows for the option
--server the following documentation:
Code: Select all
For example, --server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0 expands as follows:
mode server
tls-server
push "topology [topology]"
if dev tun AND (topology == net30 OR topology == p2p):
ifconfig 10.8.0.1 10.8.0.2
if !nopool:
ifconfig-pool 10.8.0.4 10.8.0.251
So does the config support
if statements or scripting (or is this just some pseudo code for the explanation)? Where can I find the documentation for this?

That's all it is, the config is static, it is not interpreted, which means it does
not expand shell commands.

We don't have
documentation for documentation. That would be absurd ..

In the meantime I had a look at the github repo to gain insight by myself. There I saw the hardcoded interpretation of the
--server parameter and also found no possibilities for conditions.
So the code was the documentation for the documentation
