      In VPN → OpenVPN → Client Specific Overrides, at Tunnel Settings → IPv4 Tunnel Network it says:

      “With net30 topology, the first network address of the /30 is assumed to be the server address and the second network address will be assigned to the client.”

      Does this mean that, if I use 192.168.7.1/30 that 192.168.7.1 is the server address and 192.168.7.2 is the client address? Would this correspondingly mean that 192.168.7.5/30 implies a server address of 192.168.7.5 and a client address of 192.168.7.6?

        Not much of a help, but I do recall I saw recently (OpenVPN documentation) : "net30" will be phased out / don't use it.

        edit : https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/Topology

        IMHO : net30 = 4 IP's : every connection has it's own mini network - one for the client, one for the server (and 6 spares ? ^^)

        No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
        Edit : and where are the logs ??

          @Gertjan: Thanks very much for pointing that out! As you can see from my latest topic in this forum, I changed the tunnel network to a /24 address.
