Advanced Features
Push IP address The VPN server will always provide an IP address to the remote VPN client. VPN [push_ip] clients can behave in two different ways.
Either:
the VPN client requests an IP address. Then the VPN server responds to this request, and provides a suitable IP address.
Or:
The VPN client does not issue a request for an IP address. In this case, the VPN server pushes an IP address to the VPN client. The client acknowledges the receipt of the IP address.
