Openvpn Issue with Client Reserved IP (Static IP)

NethServer Version: v7
Module: openvpn

Hello guys,

Under my openvpn module, I need to set up a reserved IP for a client (Fixed/Static IP 192.168.169.51)

Via httpd-admin I’ve made this configuration for the client.

openvpn_client_with_reserved_ip

The client connection seems to ignore this setting and it comes with a different automatic IP assignment (192.168.1.6)

openvpn_client_connection

The weird situation is that for the first client I’ve set up (client-000 with ip 192.168.169.10) the reserved ip assignment works as aspected.

Do you have some ideas about where could be the problem?

Thank you for your help

E.g. 192.168.169.50 would be good in your setup.

@filippo_carletti as always your answer are like pearls.

Anyhow, I’m not so confidend like you in the network/mask/ip calculation… so I’ve take your indication as a dogma for me.

But I’had a problem: 192.168.169.50 was already taken (indeed it works)

So in the server I’ve configured 192.168.169.60 for my client-001

The result was that the client has taken the 196.168.1.62 at the connection

Why have you told me that the ip .50 was ok for my setup?

(I know… I was in trouble with the openvpn document you have shared)

[Update] I’ve understood!
