10.8.0.0/24

Private (RFC 1918) RFC 1918

The 10.8.0.0/24 range is the default tunnel network in OpenVPN server configurations. The VPN server takes 10.8.0.1 and clients are assigned addresses from 10.8.0.2 upward. This range appears in countless default OpenVPN config examples.

Network address — the base address of the block (10.8.0.0). All devices in this subnet share this prefix. Cannot be assigned to a host.

Broadcast address — packets sent to 10.8.0.255 are delivered to every device in the subnet. Also reserved — not assignable.

Usable hosts — the 254 addresses between those two that you can assign to servers, VMs, or interfaces.

Subnet mask — 255.255.255.0 is the dotted-decimal equivalent of /24. Older tools and Cisco configs use this format instead of CIDR slash notation.
