[Openvpn-users] openvpn and client ip

[Fabio <fabio.marcone@xxxxxxx>]

Hi!
I don't understand how openvpn server assigns ip address to clients. I studied 
server directive but without success.

In my tests I note that:
If I don't set ip client (using configuration file in 
client-configuration-dir), server assigns to client wrong (I think ip):

server
tun0 address 10.8.0.1 p-t-p: 10.8.0.2

client
tun0 address 10.8.0.6 p-t-p: 10.8.0.5

why??

tun0 client side has to have 10.8.0.2 address or not?

a tun device with 10.8.0.5 address doesn't exist.

How openvpn server assigns ip addresses to clients?

Another question:
when I start openvpn server, it adds in machine routing table at least 2 
route:
destination		gw		iface
10.8.0.0		10.8.0.2		tun0
10.8.0.2		0.0.0.0		tun0

why?

I think that the first route is unnecessary, or not?

Thanks in advance,
Fabio
