Hi Guys

I have been trying to add a virtual server to the vlan created by OpenVPN without any luck. I am hoping someone here may be able to assist?

As I am using FreeBSD jails, I am told that the ip can not be set on the virtual server itself, and that I should use an ipconfig-pool instead. So I have been trying to do as much reading as I can on the matter, but am still no wiser

Here is the output of ifconfig and my ovpn settings. I just need the server at xxx.xxx.xxx.213 to be added to the 192.168.254.xx subnet so that I can access blocked ports on that machine (eg. 21) remotely. Surely I am missing something very simple? :

Also: I get this error when I try to start OpenVPN on the virtual server (client). Perhaps the issue is with the routing socket?
