These are examples, the addresses highlighted in red must be your LAN address and in the correct
range of your router, otherwise nothing will work.

You must also create the up and down scripts lower down in the article.
The main stumbling block is that Mint uses Upstart so to restart networking command is

sudo service networking restart

Not sure if you can add the VPN start scripts but more info about upstart on link below:

It's always better/easier to set an static IP (Manual) instead of a dynamic one (DHCP). Click the networking interface widget in the System tray, then click on manage connections. Set your IP there.
