Raspberry Pi 3 VPN

[Sir Asvald]

Hey guys. I'm using OpenPVN on my Pi3 and I want to change the DHCP IP it gives out. I'm trying to find out how. If someone could help me. Thanks.

If you're trying to change the default IP of your OVPN config files, there's a default template file somewhere in the OpenVPN install (I believe ~/client-configs/base.conf) you can change. I recently set this up on my Pi using PiVPN so I might suggest that you try that (the setup script lets you choose a new IP).

That's what I used. Currently any client that connects gets an IP of 10.8.0.2 and I want to change it 192.168.1.0. That's what I'm trying to do. There's no option for me to that.

Ah, I understand what you mean. Maybe try looking here?

I'm honestly not sure. Any particular reason why you're trying to do this?

If you want your VPN clients to be in your local network and not in 10.8.0.0 then you should change tun device to tap in your server.conf and client.conf files. Take a look in here

Did you install OpenVPN with this method? curl -L https://install.pivpn.io | bash

 

If so, you're likely running Raspbian on the Pi, which means DHCP is managed by Raspbian.

Now there are 2 DHCP configuration files depending on whether you're connecting to it via the wireless or wired NIC.

 

SSH into the Pi (may have to enable that first), open /etc/dhcpcd.conf via in your favorite text editor (vi or nano).

Does it have 10.8.0.1 listed as the static router? If so, this is the file to modify. If not, look in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

 

Bear in mind Raspbian has changed the way DHCP is configured multiple times since it was created, following Debian's lead (roughly). I have to look this process up every time I go to do it now and I always encounter "old" configurations and mess it up. Be prepared to wipe it and start fresh ;-)
