Hello guys,

A couple years ago I submitted this patch which allows the user to set the 'client-ip' as a convenient way to use the leased IP address received from OpenVPN server in NAT configuration. For example:

client-nat snat client-ip 255.255.255.255 172.20.1.15

, where 'client-ip' string is replaced with the leased IP address received from OpenVPN server.

At that time, it was NACKED due to the fact that I was using both client-ip and localhost strings. So, it's changed now and I'd like to re-submit it again for appreciation.

Thanks

Gava

Subject: [PATCH] Allows the usage of the string 'client-ip' in the client-nat
network configuration in a way that is not necessary to inform the IP address
beforehand. Openvpn will set dynamically the received IP from DHCP.

Example:

                client-nat snat client-ip 255.255.255.255 172.20.1.15

Replaces the 'client-ip' string with the DHCP address received from
the openvpn server.

We now have two submissions for this - are they any different?

Ops, sorry. It's the same. I thought it was not sent to the group. :-)
