OpenVPN Connect help with problem, "You may not use a static IP address. Please enable DHCP."

[of]

So I just got back to university and I'm setting up my PC. I use OpenVPN on an Ubuntu Server VM installed on Proxmox on a home server, and OpenVPN Connect on my various devices to access my home server. I mainly use my home server for file storage and a private wiki that I have to keep track of a bazillion things. Whenever I use my OpenVPN Connect client on my PC at school though, it pops up a browser and says "You may not use a static IP address. Please enable DHCP."

When I setup OpenVPN, I used a setup script, so I'm not particularly familiar with it, I just needed to have access to home server quick before I came back to school. I've searched the OpenVPN Connect options and there does not seem to be a simple way to enable DHCP. I'm assuming for whatever reason OpenVPN Connect disables DHCP and forces a static IP. My school presumably has this monitored because they don't want kids hosting website out of their dorm room. Anyone know of a solution?

I use my OpenVPN Connect client

Why ? Just use real Open source OpenVPN.

I guess I'm not familiar enough with what you're suggesting. I'm pretty certain I am using "real" OpenVPN?

I use "wget https://git.io/vpn -O openvpn-install.sh" to install OpenVPN on my Ubuntu server.

And I use the Windows OpenVPN Connect from this location https://openvpn.net/download-open-vpn/
