Setting up static IP for clients
-------
1. Add this line `client-config-dir /etc/openvpn/ccd` in
`/etc/openvpn/server.conf`
2. Create client config directory
`sudo mkdir /etc/openvpn/ccd`
3. Fix permissions
`sudo chown -R pi:nogroup /etc/openvpn/ccd`
(Make sure to enter correct username, in this case it was pi)
4. Adding clients.
`sudo nano /etc/openvpn/ccd/exampleuser`
(Add clients with their common name, in this case `exampleuser.ovpn`)
5. Configuring static IP.
Add this line `ifconfig-push 10.8.0.3 255.255.255.0` to `/etc/openvpn/ccd/exampleuser`
6. Restart openvpn
`sudo service openvpn restart`
(Here 10.8.0.3 is going to be static IP for user `exampleuser`, if you want to configure additional users, repeat from step 4)
##### Note: You have to assign static IP for all clients in order to avoid IP address conflict
