the IP address is assigned to your computer by your DHCP server

you can only have 1 true ip address, although you can have ghost ip address and private ip addresses

Private Addresses are not routable through the internet

Ghosts IP addresses are normally used to cover something up, usually something illegal

Are Mac addresses dynamically assigned?

No, MAC Addresses are fixed per network interface card or NIC. The MAC address is the Media Access Control address and is the hardware address of the network device to which your IP address, e.g. 192.168.1.3 is assigned. You can identify the vendor of your network card from its MAC address, e.g. all Intel NIC cards may begin with 00-15.

How devices get their MAC or IP address.?

A device or computer gets their MAC address from their Network Interface Card (or NIC). This is not something that a user is able to change (See discussion as to why you can change your MAC address). However an IP address can be statically assigned to you which means a network administrator has physically typed out what your IP address and subnet mask is. Another way to get an IP address is through Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, or DHCP as it is most commonly known as.

Suppose a VPN server has multiple network cards from which network interface is an IP address assigned?

Each NIC will have it's own IP address for each network it's connected to. so a machine with 3 network cards has at least 3 IPs (one NIC can have multiple IPs if configured that way, you can also tell a NIC to not acquire an IP, but that's kind of uncommon) the VPN server could be configured to only listen on one network interface or all of them. Also the IP addresses assigned to the clients should route them on the NIC with matching IP/netmask, but that can also be configured. you probably want to use a static IP for the interfaces to your VPN server and configure it to only use the network interfaces that you want it to.
