Restarting the vpnclient changes these IP-addresses.
This network does not have 172.31.0.0/16 subnet
How to turn off this behavior?
Why softether vpnclient sends ARP requests from nonexist IP-address?

Re: Why softether vpnclient sends ARP requests from nonexist IP-address?
In certain network configurations (such as my case) softether cannot receive reply and continues to flooding the L2 segment with bogus ARP requests.
Server config option "NoArpPolling true" to disable this.
