With 2.0-beta2 and later, --ifconfig* is not required with --mode server or connecting client, but only if tap interfaces are being used (--dev tap).

You will also get a gentle warning from the server:

MULTI: no dynamic or static remote --ifconfig address is available for x.x.x.x

which is purely informational and does indicate an error condition.

You cannot use --dev tun without --ifconfig on Windows.  This is because tun
interfaces require IP endpoints to be defined.

Thanks for your answer. I think I will live with the warnings, for now.

In the mean time, I have got the DHCP thing completely working! This means, my OpenVPN setup can now be made final.

Now, the clients automatically get an IP address from a pool of IP addresses WITHOUT gateway :-).

If someone would like to see the DHCP config, I could reply or maybe mail to the list for a generic topic or something.

thank you all for your great help.

With kind regards,
Eymert
