No,these are addresses I made up myself not to disclose server addresses to
a public mailing list. However, if the key to the solution is them, I can
send them intact. As far as I saw, those addresses were OK, one was the
address assigned to me, other was the vpn server address.

There was one thing in the logs:
ii : received config pull response
ii : - IP4 Address = 1.2.176.8
ii : - Address Expiry = 0
ii : - IP4 Netmask = 255.255.240.0
ii : - IP4 DNS Server = 1.2.1.13
ii : - IP4 DNS Server = 1.2.1.199
ii : - IP4 Subnet = ANY:0.0.0.0/0:* ( invalid subnet ignored )

Could the last ignore be an issue? Maybe I can test the same in windows.

Any other clues?
