my tap adapter gets this ip address 169.254.40.124
i have not use this range any where.
i have tried several times & it gets the same ip.
i treid changing
server-bridge from 10.8.0.4 . . . to 20.0.0.1 . . . ...
but the problem stays the same

my server config looks like

server config

port 1194
proto udp
dev tap
dev-node OpenVPN_server
ca "D:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\server\\ca.crt"
cert "D:\\Program Files\\OpenVPN\\config\\server\\server.crt"

hi there,

maybe my eyes fool me...

is this screenshot shows both vpn interface in same pc?

also

i suppose you are trying to use bridge mode for openvpn..
did you bridged tap & lan interfaces from windows?

also is 10.8.0 subnet belongs to your local area connection?

Michael.

later i try setting the server ip manually to 10.8.0.4 . .
by windows network connections >> openvpnserver tap adapter
then it takes same specified ip 10.8.0.4 consistantly.

but now when my clients connects they get random ip range
ie
169.254.25.26
169.254.6.22
& this is also consistent

how to edit
auto dhcp enable

hi there,

the ip address the vpn adapter has,it gets it according to your config.

what are you trying to achieve and you have 3 tap adapters?

the apipa based ip ,shows up only when your config has something wrong
otherwise YOU configure the ip the tap adapter gets from its config file..

Michael.
