I changed the wiki myself .. now that single IPv6 address is as the others.
eg: The server side subnet are now all 2001:db8:0:abc:: correcting the one
2001:db8:abc::   (thanks for access)

Checked man: https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn/blob/master/doc/openvpn.8
(line: 5796) the error (or not and) still persists.

At this time, I am not suitably versed with git to submit a patch,
I am working on it if you choose to wait .. but it is something I
will continue to learn even if somebody else submits a patch before me.

Thanks
