Re: [Openvpn-users] openvpn and client ip

[Fabio <fabio.marcone@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for you reply!

what do you mean with "every client has its own /30" ?

every client has 4 ip addresses ? for what?

in ipp.txt I see that my client has associated 10.8.0.4.

why?

I can't use openvpn 2.1 because I use debian sarge and there isn't 2.1 
packages available. 

By now I set each client address using ifconfig-push in ccd directory and it 
seems to work fine. Is this right? does exist another method to set client 
ip?

Thanks a lot,
Fabio
