Resolution: notabug
Status: newclosed

Linux has no real concept of "net30", that is only there because windows needs a subnet - for windows, a tunnel is always "us" and "them", and there is no relationship between these addresses. So, by definition, as long as the server routes the address towards the client, it's not "invalid".

Your IPv6 address, on the other hand, is a totally different thing - this is invalid because it is *syntactically* invalid (has two "::" in it) - if you try pushing a syntactically invalid v4 address (10.11.12.13.14) I assume the IPv4 code will also tell you it's invalid.

agreed (2) IPv4 is also verified by the server reading the CCD file, pools is used on failure
