Openswan l2tp vpn ppp wrong ip address

Question

Using Openswan with xl2tp on archlinux (4.20) to connect to a vpn, I can create the tunnel and the ppp interface is created howerver it gets the wrong ip address:

enp4s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,DYNAMIC,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000  
    inet 192.168.0.10/24 brd 192.168.0.255 scope global enp4s0  

ppp0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1280 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN group default qlen 3  
    link/ppp  
    inet 192.168.0.10 peer 172.16.210.254/32 scope global ppp0  

The ppp gets a local (client) ip address and not one provided by the vpn, so I can ping 172.16.210.254 but not any other address in the vpn.
These 2 errors I found in journalctl seem weird but I haven't found a reason for them online:

pppd[2485]: not replacing existing default route via 192.168.0.1
pppd[2485]: Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP

and

connmand[593]: Inconsistent IP pool management (start not found)  

Here is the result of route -n:

I have tested the same exact configuration on a VM with debian 8 and it works.

Here is my configuration:
xl2tpd.conf:

[lac vpn]
    lns = x.x.x.x # VPN public ip
    ppp debug = yes
    pppoptfile = /etc/ppp/options.l2tpd
    length bit = yes

ppp options.l2tp:
