It communicates with the server. All VPN solutions I know do this 
(including openvpn).

Then you are @!#*%!@#$@!)(!@#&%@#! !@(%!@#()#!@$!@%#. VPN is designed to 
connect disparaged networks as if they are close together. My Mom 
thought about connecting to the insurance company's VPN. They allocated 
her a 10/8 based address. There were two such companies. One allocated 
the address, and the other told us to use the address allocated by the 
first one. That's just how things are done. I'm not sure what they'd do 
had we told them we do not carry policies for the first one.

The good news is that RFC 1918 has so many IP addresses, you are almost 
bound to be able to use an address with a small enough mask to be unique 
even when your clients go to random hotels around the globe.
