Forcing same IP as Server to all Clients

abiteddie

Hi dear Community,
I am struggeling now for quite a while. I have some applications which are running in a VM and have to get bind to a specific, static IP Address. I am Using OPENVPN to get my Clients connected to the OPENVPN Server with the public IP 222.217.224.79.

Now I have to setup the clients somehow so all of them are going to get the same ip 222.217.224.79 configured as there own ones at the tun0 interface. How can I achieve that?

Thank you.

I can only presume you mean "Redirect the client gateway" .. please see the howto.

Thank you for you anwser. Does that mean, that my client gets the external IP from the Server assigend to his tun0 interface?

From my interface tun0: my inet IP is 10.8.0.2. But i have to here the same IP as the external IP from my Openvpn Server is -> 222.217.224.79

This is exactly what a Virtual Private Net do. Now your vpn server and all its clients are in net 10.8.0.0/24. One machine can have multiple IP's simultaneously and that is how VPN works.
