    lladdr option not working for me

    my ASUS RT-AC68U router is running FreshTomato 2024.3 with openvpn 2.6.12, but tried also a few older 2.6.x versions. i can't test versions lower than that.
    in my config i have amongst others these lines:
    dev tap21
    lladdr 22:21:21:21:21:21
    verb 4
    and i even tried adding
    dev-type tap
    in syslog i see this line:
    lladdr = '22:21:21:21:21:21'
    and no errors

    nevertheless i still get a random mac address for the tap interface that is created by openvpn.
    tap21 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr A6:C3:CF:F0:89:CA
    in the man pages there is no restriction other than the interface type being TAP

    can anyone point me in the right direction? what am i doing wrong?

    \\EDIT: i found that you are supposed to use only private mac addresses starting with x2, x6, xA and xE, where x is 0 ~ 9 or A ~ F
    reran my tests, but no improvement ....
