I created an Adapter and created an account and connected successfully, but when I want to get IP for the Adapter, it just doesn't work.

command:
dhclient vpn_vpn

is not working.

Are you trying to use Local Bridge Mode? Or did you forget to enable SecureNat?
Do you have/know how to install a DHCP server?
If you don't I would recommend you enable securenate, using vpncmd login to the hub and run:
SecureNatEnable

Otherwise if you want local bridge mode you're going to need a DHCP server to distribute addresses.

1，someone else is hosting the VPN Server, I am just using VPN Client to connect.

2, I have tested it on a Windows VPN Client, and it worked. it just don't worked on my centos

Is IP address assigned 169.254.xxx.xxx when you use Windows?
I guess that address is assigned by APIPA.
