Hi, I am looking to setup OpenVPN with the ability to access hosts on the
OpenVPN network using their certificate name (For example,
Emily.srv.startledphoenix.net). I am using a tap-based network, so
learn-address spits out a mac address instead of a ip address. Each client
connected to OpenVPN needs to have a static address.
What I have tried so far:
Dnsmasq (bridged tap):
- Hostname resolution works
- Due to the fact that the tap interface mac on the clients keeps on changing,
it keeps on allocating new addresses to clients. Quite annoying when you are
attempting to bind nginx to that internal tap interface. It also causes SSH to
go wild and ask to accept the ssh key each time I connect and it has a new ip
address
Custom ARP Script (bridged tap, addresses allocated by openvpn) (Script:
http://pastebin.com/rM6tkKgE):
- Hostname resolution works
- Script is finicky, it seems that finding the IP Address using the MAC address
and ARP is not such a good idea.
If anyone has any idea how I can get this to work, or solutions to either of
the above, that would be awesome.
Thanks!
