Hello.
I am trying to setup an OpenVPN Server on my Windows Machine. I have been able to connect to the Sever with a client on a different PC but have hit a roadblock. The IP address of the client doesn't seem to get updated and this is a requirement I need. Any guidance on this will be highly appreciated.
Here are my 'server.ovpn' and 'client.ovpn' files.

server.ovpn:

Code: Select all

port 1194
proto udp
dev tun

ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key
dh dh.pem

server 10.20.30.0 255.255.255.0
ifconfig-pool-persist ipp.txt

keepalive 10 120

comp-lzo

persist-key
persist-tun

status openvpn-status.log

verb 3

client.ovpn:

Code: Select all

client

dev tun

proto udp

remote <server_public_ip> 1194

resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun

ca ca.crt
cert client01.crt
key client01.key

comp-lzo

verb 3

World of pain. Windows as a server is a bad idea ..

Don't make me cry mahn. The other alternative is a Ubuntu 16 server which is no longer supported by OpenVPN(Ubuntu 16 that is).

Then it looks like you have dug your own grave ..

If you insist on using Windows as a VPN server then see bebops posts here:

You should probably properly maintain your Ubuntu Server.
