Static IP For OpenVPN Clients in TAP Mode?

sooth · Aug 30, 2012, 6:59 PM

I read all the info about client specific overrides and the /30 stuff for OpenVPN in TUN mode, but we are running TAP mode here and I am attempting to configure our clients with static IP addresses.

I did find a blog saying to place this in advanced under CSO: "ifconfig-push 192.168.100.95 255.255.255.0" but that does not seem to be getting the job done.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Just tested in my own config, the "ifconfig-push clientip mask" works with TAP (windows 7 client). You have placed it under client-specific-overrides > advanced right? And completely disconected the client so its gone from the status screen.? And rebuild the connection from 'nothing'.

Do you get any error? Does the openvpn-client logs mention anything worth mentioning?
