Description
If you enter a host address instead of a network address into the IPv4 Tunnel Network field, the setup will be accepted, but the OpenVPN service will not start.

By "host address" do you mean a single IP address without a CIDR mask ("x.x.x.x") or an FQDN?

A single host address with a CIDR mask. e.g., 10.0.8.1/24.

OK so you literally meant a host address inside a network, and not the network address.
We could do one of two things here:
- Have input validation reject the input if the address is not the network address for the subnet (harsh)
- Change the host address the user input into the appropriate network address on save (easier for the user, but the change may surprise them)
I'm leaning toward the latter approach, and note under the field that it should be/will be changed to a network address

openvpn_validate_tunnel_network() implemented in #2668 do not allow to enter IP addresses
I think this issue can be closed

I'm not seeing any change in behavior from before here. On a 2.6.0 snapshot I can still enter a host IP address inside the tunnel network (e.g. 10.6.29.1/24) and the GUI accepts it as the tunnel network.
