Accessing OpenVPN Connected Devices
-
We have a need to be able to access devices that are connected via OpenVPN.
We are doing this now by using VPN | OpenVPN | Client Specific Overrides and creating an override for each user. Specifically, we add:
ifconfig-push 10.0.99.31 255.255.255.0(for example) to the user's Client Settings | Advanced. This works but we also have to add matching Host Overrides under Services | DNS Resolver | General Settings, so that we can access the host by name.
- Is there a better way to do this?
- Is there a way to have a full DHCP server on the OpenVPN private network?
Thanks in advance!

Probably not. You could hand out addresses via RADIUS but either way it's manually managed.

Not in any meaningful way. You could bridge the VPN to a local interface with a DHCP/DNS structure, but that has other drawbacks.
