Hello everybody! Maybe this is a bit Off-Topic here, but maybe some of you like to help me anyway.
I am trying to build a VPN network where the clients get their IP adresses from a local DHCP server (because it should notify the nameserver of the clients). The VPN should have its own adress pool 10.8.0.* while the unsecured clients in the server's LAN should get an 192.168.1.* adress. I got the VPN working but the clients do appearently not get their IP from the DHCP server but some random IP from the OpenVPN server. (The DHCP server only assignes 10.8.0.100-200 adresses but the clients get .8 or .10 for example) Now my questions are: Do I need bridging for making the DHCP server work in the VPN? How should the configuration files look like? The current configuration files can be found here: http://wwwhomes.uni-bielefeld.de/pholthaus/public/vpn client.openvpn.conf.txt and server.openvpn.conf.txt are the current configuration files. client.openvpn.conf.testing.txt and server.openvpn.conf.testing.txt are files where i tried to use tap devices. However if i use these configurations i get the following error in the server's log: Mar 15 12:50:04 kael openvpn[23401]: thrall/129.70.171.12:32830 MULTI: no dynamic or static remote --ifconfig address is available for thrall/129.70.171.12:32830 Any help is appreciated very much!
