specify a subnet mask that includes all these non-static VPN IPs
as in..
HOST ALL ALL 172.16.0.0/12 md5
A VPN almost always uses its own subnet range(s) for the remote clients,
they don't appear on your WAN with their own arbitrary IPs, they appear
with IPs that are assigned by the VPN
If you really want to allow all IPs, specify 0.0.0.0/0
