      I have an OpenVPN server setup on a pfSense router and need to share a few directories from one Windows 10 client box to others that connect to the VPN remotely. They are running a software that needs to pull certain configuration files from these directories, so I need to make sure that the client which serves these directories always connects to the same IP on the VPN, how do I accomplish that? I thought that as long as the client machine was on the VPN I could map those directories using the typical //ComputerName/Directory method, but I realize now I have to use the IP Address instead of computer name, so that is why I need to make sure it always stays the same.

      Thanks in advance!
