Hi Guys,

I have just simple question in regards to the OpenVPN connections.
When using a Certificates and "server" directive in openvpn
configuration file :
server 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 the vpn tunnel is created is follows:
SERVER:
inet addr:192.168.0.1  P-t-P:192.168.0.2  Mask:255.255.255.255
CLIENT:
inet addr:192.168.0.6  P-t-P:192.168.0.5  Mask:255.255.255.255

What is a logic behind a IP address given to the client from the
server. Why first client connected to SERVER does not get 192.168.0.2
IP address but it gets 192.168.0.6 instead? I'm sure that there is a
good explanation for that and I'm just missing something.

You mean that both the server and the client are on the same LAN? Can you show us the server side configuration and the client side?
