I'm trying to setup a OpenVPN network with a UDP server and have the clients specify their own IP addresses.
How do I do that? Perhaps a simple question but I could need some help.
What I got so far, but it's not working:
[SERVER]
proto udp
dev tun
server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0
duplicate-cn
[CLIENT]
dev tun
proto udp
remote SECRET_IP 1194
ifconfig 10.8.0.10 255.255.255.0
How to setup a OpenVPN network where the client specified IP

In your case, I'd recommend a bridged setup - there are no IPs wasted on subnets, etc.

forgive my lack of knowledge but can you post a simple config both for server and client for a briged setup?ecrist wrote:In your case, I'd recommend a bridged setup - there are no IPs wasted on subnets, etc.
the clients needs to keep their normal IP address and have OpenVPN run next to it.

you really want clients specifying their own vpn ip address? why would you possibly want that?gemal wrote:I'm trying to setup a OpenVPN network with a UDP server and have the clients specify their own IP addresses.
