more specifically, I have 5 ips on my server. anytime someone is on openvpn connected to the server it assigns every person the same ip (e.g. client 1=10.10.10.10 client 2= 10.10.10.10) when looked up on something such as whatismyipaddress.com. how do i get each person a different ip from the server to be connected to.

I'm not certain on this, but it looks like you can configure the client to use a specific bound IP using the "local" directive in the cfg. https://serverfault.com/questions/59688 ... nd-address
