Howto DHCP : ip-win32 option for Linux client ?

Post by Alex987 » Wed May 17, 2017 3:12 pm

Hi everyone

Does it exist an option like ip-win32 for linux client ?

More exactly, I want to configure the DHCP lease for an Linux client.
The version of OpenVPN server is 2.4.1
My clients run on Ubuntu 16.04 with gnome.
I use the network-manager plugin for connect the VPN.

I read on the manual but I don't find an information about DHCP working for Linux client...

OpenVPN does not use DHCP for a Linux client.

Ok thanks for the quick answer !
So, how does OpenVPN handle IP distribution for Linux client ?
There are some information in the manual for windows but I don't find any for Linux...
