      Hello,

      What fields have to be filled up in the Client-Specific configuration for the remote client to pick a static IP? I have set the Common Name and Interface IP and left everything else either blank or unchecked but it's not stable. What happens is that if I put this for IP:

      172.16.0.10/30

      The client get 172.16.0.9

      Which is weired given that the it should obtain .10 and tunnel should be .11 per instructions. Can someone please clarify this?

      Also, I am using two tunnels to come in so maybe something is missed up here?

      Thanks

        The addresses are assigned out of the /30, not exactly what you specify.

        This should mean that…
        172.16.0.0/30 - Client .2 -> Server .1
        172.16.0.4/30 - Client .6 -> Server .5
        172.16.0.8/30 - Client .10 -> Server .9
        172.16.0.12/30 - Client .14 -> Server .13
        172.16.0.16/30 - Client .18 -> Server .17
        172.16.0.20/30 - Client .22 -> Server .21

        Try putting in .8/30 and see if your results are any different.
