cheetah2003 Hope this is ok to ask in here, I've been messing with this for a while now and I'm just not seeming able to get the result I desire. Basically my layout is thus: I have a home network which is a few computers and virtuals machines. I have a cloud based VPN server I want to connect to. I have laptops and remote machines I want to also connect via the cloud VPN server. Now currently I have all this working pretty decently actually. I have everything configured with an OpenVPN in bridging mode, so it's all ethernet bridge from every client to the server, clients can talk to each other fine and all that. Where my problem lies, is I want to be able to assign static IP's to my remote clients that connect up. I've tried setting a client-config-dir and making a file in there with the same name as the CN of the client, but it doesn't seem to work at all. The clients still keeps getting an IP out of my pool. If any of you can help me figure out how to make a specific client get a static IP assignment, that'd be great. I'm going to include the server configuration. I'm not sure if the client config file is needed? Everything is running via tap devices. port xxx proto xxx dev tap ca xxx cert xxx key xxx dh xxx # manual configuration client-to-client mode server tls-server topology "subnet" push "topology subnet" ifconfig 10.0.0.161 255.255.255.0 ifconfig-pool 10.0.0.162 10.0.0.171 255.255.255.0 client-config-dir /etc/openvpn/ccd keepalive 10 120 cipher AES-256-CBC comp-lzo user nobody group nogroup persist-key persist-tun status openvpn-status.log verb 1 daemon The client CN name file in 'ccd' just has 'ifconfig-push 10.0.0.19 255.255.255.0' Any tips would be appreciated, thanks!
TinCanTech You have not read how to create your --server-bridge .. If your server works it is by luck not judgement. See: https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/ethernet-bridging.html
