It is the local IP address of the Server. This IP address
should be from the IPv4 address ranges assigned to private networks. The table
in section
shows the reserved private IPv4 addresses.
Figure 71: SimpleVPN - Server IPv4-Address
By default it is the best option to use private addresses from the class C block. If you need more
than 65,536 Hosts you can use one of the other classes. In an IP network, two addresses are always
automatically assigned. For example, in 192.168.1.0/24, "0" is the assigned network address. In
192.168.1.255/24, "255" is the assigned broadcast address. The 0 and 255 are always assigned and
should not be used for hosts. Please do not use the two IPv4 addresses which are used to connect
the encrypted VPN tunnel, also do not use addresses of the 10.8.0.0/24 range.
