 * Configuring a Static IP
 
-  The most important thing is to set a static IP, so it can be set as
-  the gateway for client machines. We'll set this first.
+  It's very important to set a static IP on our VPN gateway. We do
+  this so we always know where to find it on the network. We'll do
+  this first.
 
   Setting a static IP in OpenBSD couldn't be simpler. For each
   interface on the machine, you can create a [[http://man.openbsd.org/man5/hostname.if.5][=hostname.if(5)=]] file
   with the name =/etc/hostname.<if>=, where =<if>= is the name of the
   interface. Since we want to set a configure the interface =vio0=,
   the file we want is =/etc/hostname.vio0=. If your box was configured
-  with DHCP, the file might contain =dhcp=. We want to give the
-  interface the static IP =192.168.0.11= with a =/24= subnet. We use
-  [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing][CIDR notation]] here for convenience. We open the file and replace its
-  contents with the following.
+  with DHCP, the file might contain a single line saying =dhcp=. We
+  want to give the interface the static IP =192.168.0.11= with a =/24=
+  subnet. We use [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing][CIDR notation]] here for convenience, but it's also
+  possible to write out the full subnet mask after our IP, separated
+  by a space. We open the file and replace its contents with the
+  following.
 
   #+BEGIN_SRC
