Help cannot configure connect FROM 10.0.0.0/8

[Abnorman]

Hi. Apologies if this is a silly question, but I have not been able to configure OpenVPN.

The problem: Every example I can find of OpenVPN config assumes that it can distribute the 10.8.0.0/24 addresses as its own.

I may not do this. This is our head office network. 10.0.0.0/8 is not available to be used by OpenVPN.

All attempts I have made to change the OpenVPN network to 172 or 192.168 private network addresses I can use have failed. I can find no documentation at all for anything but the damned 10.8.0.0 setup.

How do I simply modify the network to a different one?

you are joking right?

post your configs please, usually you need to change the server directive...

usually you need to change the server directive...

Using the example server and client configs the only change you have to make is the server directive ..

EG:

Code: Select all

server 192.168.110.0 255.255.255.0

Later, you will probably need to change your iptables NAT rule ..

EG:

Code: Select all

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.110.0/24 -o ethX -j MASQUERADE

This is our head office network. 10.0.0.0/8 is not available to be used by OpenVPN

Does your head office really require 16,777,216 hosts or is this just a poorly configured network ..
