OPENVPN server directive network/netmask error

English Network/Internet
1

Almost there, I’m following these directions:



https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:OpenVPN_Installation_and_Setup#Purpose

When I execute

  **systemctl start openvpn@server **

I get



Options error: --server directive network/netmask combination is invalid
Use --help for more information.

Can someone narrow down the possible errors?

Thank you.

Your openvpn server configuration (server.conf) has an invalid IP/netmask directive for the IP range it is handing out.

For example this is valid;

server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0

This is not valid:

server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.255

You need to check that the server parameter is something sensible.
