OpenVPN DHCP

Guest

Hello,

I have an question about OpenVPN server on pfSense 2.1.5.

Is it possible to assign connected clients an IP from one big DHCP scope instead of for example 192.168.3.6 and the next one 192.168.3.10 (<-not sure if that is the right IP!)
I want everyone connected to the VPN to get an normal IP range, so user 1 gets 192.168.3.2 and user 2 gets 192.168.3.2, and so on.

Is this possible, and how can this be realized if it's possible?

Well that would not be good if you gave the users the same IP.
In your openvpn setup check the

Allocate only one IP per client (topology subnet), rather than an isolated subnet per client (topology net30).
Relevant when supplying a virtual adapter IP address to clients when using tun mode on IPv4.
Some clients may require this even for IPv6, such as OpenVPN Connect (iOS/Android). Others may break if it is present, such as older versions of OpenVPN or clients such as Yealink phones.

By default clients get IP in a /30 of the subnet you assigned to clients. In my case 10.0.8.0/24, so they get /30 of that
