Re: Static IP on tap device
Currently, in my startup script, the ip command is executed 4 seconds after the vpn server is started.
In the manual, bridge mode is suggested instead of using NAT. However, due to technical limitations, NAT is needed, is it a better idea to do NAT with tap device and iptables then using SecureNAT? I still use the SecureNAT function for DHCP and DNS forwarding.

You can simply configure your tap interface to use dhcp.
Since you are using uybuntu, modify the network config file /etc/network/interfaces:
!!!!
auto tap
iface tap inet dhcp
!!!!
