Force OPENVPN client out on a different IP
Posted: Tue Aug 03, 2021 10:29 am
Hi all,
If this has been answered elsewhere please point me to it - I don't use OpenVPN enough to be familiar with all the options and I have tried the documentation.
I've just given a Windows machine (which has OpenVPN client running and working OK back to a pfsense firewall) a failover IP in the advanced IP settings. This machine is directly on the internet - no NAT - so it now has 2 external IPs and I can ping both. Let's say the original IP is 5.x.x.x and the failover is 130.x.x.x.
I want to now force the VPN to go out on the 130.x.x.x address. How can I do that?
Here's my config.ovpn
thanks
