Hi everyone, I'm currently trying to setup my first openVPN server. It works using tun but I need a tap VPN for my keepalived LB. I used the following guide since I couldn't find much about this online: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/OpenVPN/Bridge#Dynamic_Bridge_Installation Openvpn starts if I comment out [quote]ifconfig-pool-persist /var/log/openvpn/ipp.txt[/quote] and append the full paths to the up and down script. But afterwards my tap interface has an ipv6 IP (APIPA) How do I configure a different IP? [code]eth0 UP 49.../32 2a01:...::1/64 fe80::...:2aa8/64 tap0 UNKNOWN fe80... br0 UP 49... fe80... [/code]

[resolved] OpenVPN Bridge assign IP to tap0

Hi everyone,
I'm currently trying to setup my first openVPN server.
It works using tun but I need a tap VPN for my keepalived LB.

I used the following guide since I couldn't find much about this online:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/OpenVPN/Bridge#Dynamic_Bridge_Installation

Openvpn starts if I comment out

ifconfig-pool-persist /var/log/openvpn/ipp.txt

and append the full paths to the up and down script.

But afterwards my tap interface has an ipv6 IP (APIPA) How do I configure a different IP?

eth0             UP             49.../32 2a01:...::1/64 fe80::...:2aa8/64
tap0             UNKNOWN       fe80...
br0             UP              49...   fe80...

okay in case anyone comes across this:

adding
server-bridge 10.8.0.4 255.255.255.0 10.8.0.50 10.8.0.100

did not help but adding
mode server
tls-server
ifconfig 10.8.0.4 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool 10.8.0.128 10.8.0.254 255.255.255.0
push "route-gateway 10.8.0.4"

resolved the issue.
