10.8.0.0 cannot be a host address in a /24 network because .0 is the network address.

I'd say 10.8.0.0/24 is "the network", leave out the "ID" part. 10.8.0.0 could be the IP address of the VPN server on the VPN side, although I doubt it as .0 is usually avoided.

That's what I thought. Consequently, even 10.8.0.0 is not the IP address of the VPN server, as the article states, but the VPN network ID, correct? I think that part of the article is quite confusing tbh.

POSTROUTING doesn't allow any traffic. It affects allowed traffic only. And SNAT is (probably) not only required for Internet access but for accessing any other host on the LAN.
