I'm fairly new to trying to figure this all out, so please go easy? I'm trying to bind the "endpoint" for OpenVPN to a static address. It keeps trying to use anything in the 10.7.7.XXX range, and I'd like it to stick to 10.7.7.13 is possible, instead of dynamically picking something random. >ipconfig Unknown adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.7.7.5 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : I've tried several options in the .opnv file that I've seen in other documentation, such as: local, endpoint, etc. But the log indicates these options are [UNUSED]. I've been searching forums and documentation now for a couple of days, and no luck. Is there some option so I can stick the local IPv4 Adress to a static one?

[i]Unused options[/i] are exactly that, [b]unused[/b]..

Why do you people act like this? I've seen such other answers given on other questions, and seriously don't understand why you even bother?

One might equally call your question [b][i]a trolling question[/i][/b].

I honestly don't know, I've been scrambling. I saw the term endpoint used in this... https://openvpn.net/community-resources/how-to/ I'm going to try to use some new terms, and maybe convey what I mean better: I'm just trying to set the virtual adapter IP address? As I said, I'm new to all this. Cut me some slack here

You may find --[b]ifconfig-push[/b] in the manual of help.

I've been trying to set this option in the .opvn file.. I don't have any idea what OpenVPN Connect for windows considers the server file? There's no sample config files in this edition either. There also not really a documentation for this product, that I can find on the website anyhow?

[quote=JustJinxed post_id=107030 time=1655587823 user_id=57327] I've been trying to set this option in the .opvn file.. [/quote]It does not work that way because it must be pushed by the server.

I gather that much, but how do we configure the "server" in this case? I've tried modifying the virtual connector IPV4 settings, there's no agent configuration that I can find, and the documentation doesn't exist for this product.

Open VPN Connect for windows https://openvpn.net/client-connect-vpn-for-windows/

[surfshark] local address / endpoint?

You could not even hold yourself together until the end of the sentence.

There is no discussion.

The bottom line is this:

If You want a fixed IP from Your VPN Host then You have to PAY YOUR VPN HOST FOR IT.

OpenVPN does not hand-out Hacks to break the Law.

@JustJumped Farewell, in your naivety..

:roll:

@Pippin, thanks :mrgreen: (Sorry for the extra work)

JustJinxed

It's literally the LOCAL ADAPTER you idiot.

JustJinxed

I give up, you're a cunt, and Pippin, you're a fool if you reread this from top to bottom and think ANYTHING in this is something TinCrud here should be saying.

JustJinxed

ALL OF THIS IS GOING ON REDDIT NOW, ya lazy ass fucks.

TinCanTech

I already have my own dedicated reddit ..

JustJinxed

An address of 10.7.7.2 is NOT being set by some outside source or the VPN provider, I can assure, that's is NOT how local networking works. That much I DO known. This is as dumb as saying your LAN address 192.168.0.1 is set by your internet service provider.

TinCanTech

I am not going to delete this.

I don't know how the community feels about it, so I leave that in their very capable hands.

How am I not surprised?

Ironically if anyone else comes to this nightmare of a post, there's an app out there that overrides OpenVPN's TAP assignment
You can see the same bullcrap responses being given in this thread: https://forums.openvpn.net/viewtopic.php?p=107055#p107055

and this thread: https://forums.openvpn.net/viewtopic.php?t=14521 (where someone found a utility that'll force the TAP driver into an assigned static address)

and no, the IPv4 address on your TAP adapter, is NOT set by your VPN service.

Yeah .. you can be Superman too ..

Would i be guilty of: Feeding the Trolls ?

Trolls gotta eat .. no ?

So,

unless JustJumped is feeding me, which makes me the troll or
i'm feeding JustDumped, which makes JustSatDownTooFast the troll ...

I better check reddit..

TinCanTech

Apparently, I am now trending on reddit .. is this the fame you seek ?

It is really very easy to contact me.

TinCanTech

@ Just-scooped .. this link, which you reference:

https://forums.openvpn.net/viewtopic.php?t=14521

Points out exactly why what you want does not work.

TinCanTech

I would not mind some action on my reddit.

Pippin

The answer was given.

Locking this thread and clean the off topic stuff.
