How to use DHCP for VPN Clients?

Many years ago, you could use your LAN's DHCP server to also assign IPs to IPsec/L2TP clients.  Then, the behavior changed and you could not.  Whether the devs have added this capability back in, I don't know.  If it's successful for you, please post back here.

Hi Revan,

When you authorize an User for Remote Access VPN you can edit the USer's object and navigate to the Advance option. Here, you will find a field "User static Remote access IP ". I guess that is what you are looking for.

NOTE: The static remote access IP can only be used for remote access through PPTP, L2TP, and IPsec. It cannot be used, however, for remote access through SSL.

Thanks

Ah, thank you very much but i need it just for ssl vpn :(

Hi Revan,

That brings you to a feature request. I think there should be an open FR for this requirement. However, you can raise it as a feature here.

Thanks

ok, i voted for it.

Revan, a possible workaround for the purpose you've described is as follows.

Assuming that you want user Revan to access from a specific internal IP 172.17.1.34:

1. Put 172.17.1.34 on the Internal interface as an Additional Address named Revan.
2. Make a NAT rule:

SNAT : Revan (User Network) -> Any -> Internal (Network) : from Internal [Revan] (Address)

Does that get you where you want to go?

Hi Bob,

i want to assign specific addresses from the vpn pool (10.242.2.xxx) to the connected users.

My goal is to have my DNS clean when clients connect to our network. Now its like "who connects first gets the first IP and so on"

That isn't possible.
