On my RT-AC68U -running firmware 384.19- I have 1 OpenVPN server active.
My Synology NAS backups to two similar Synology NAS devices on geographical different locations and connect through OpenVPN.
Normally the external Synology's made connection to the router, got an IP address in the range of the set subnetmask and were accessible by that.
Sadly it is not possible to set the IP to fixed for these devices, but the Merlin-WRT is stable enough that the IP address changes hardly.
But after a reset last week, I noticed that both external Synology's get 2 OpenVPN-IP's
At first I thought nothing of it, but today they are still there; even after a reset of the router and the Synology's
Only one of the two IP's is working and there is a different portnumber(?) added to the source-IP
Is this common or is there something changed in the OpenVPN part?

Asus router OpenVPN overview:
To check if the server assigns two IP's per connection, I've connected my laptop over vpn, but my laptop only gets 1 IP.
Screenshot 2:
The connection screen of one of the backup Synology's. Only One IP is being received and only this is working. The xxx.xxx.0.5 is not reachable.
