Hello,
When I use "server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0" in the Server.conf file, then
OpenVPN assigns IP addresses to clients respectively. What should I do if I want to
assign a specific IP address to a client with a specific computer name or MAC address?
What should you do? You should read the docs. Really.
Do your homework, Jason. Many questions you're asking here have a simple
answer via "man" commands or by simply googling them. And this is
typically one of them.
*$ man openvpn*
Excerpt:*
*
** --client-config-dirdir
Specify a directory dir for custom client config files.
After a connecting client has been authenticated, OpenVPN will
look in this directory for a file having the same name as
the client's X509 common name. If a matching file exists, it
will be opened and parsed for client-specific
configuration options. If no matching file is found, OpenVPN will instead
try to open and parse a default file called "DEFAULT",
which may be provided but is not required. Note that the configura‐
tion files must be readable by the OpenVPN process after
it has dropped it's root privileges.
This file can specify a fixed IP address for a given
client using --ifconfig-push, as well as fixed subnets owned by the
client using --iroute
If what you meant wasn't exactly that, and if you really want to use the
name of the machine or its mac address instead of its common name,
please provide more insight about why you would really want to do that.
Asking questions out of the blue, without any perceivable goal, is a
real deterrent.
