I've never tried putting "*" in the IP column, though it might be valid as a
client configuration.

These might not work, since your internal network is not 192.168.1.1 ?

If this is the server, you want something like:

# client    server    secret            IP addresses
#"username" "*" "password" *		10.10.10.0/24
# test gets a dynamic ip from the pool
"test"    "*"    "test" *		10.10.10.0/24
# test2 gets a static ip
"test2"    "*"    "test2" *		10.10.10.111/32
