Yes. To change the hostname or IP address, you will need to change `/etc/openvpn/easy-rsa/keys/Default.txt` and your `.ovpn` files if you have already generated them. If you want to change the protocol, you will also need to change `/etc/openvpn/server.conf`.
## My ISP doesn't give me a static external IP address, so my servers IP address keeps changing!
You will need a dynamic DNS service and a hostname. If your IP address changes, your hostname will then automatically point to the new IP address. Some free dynamic DNS services are <http://noip.com> or <http://freedns.afraid.org/>.

## Installing with pi-hole
You can safely install pivpn on the same raspberry pi as your pi-hole install. If you point your openvpn clients to the IP of your pi-hole for DNS (so they get ad blocking etc) then you will want to be sure to edit your /etc/dnsmasq.conf file too allow dns resolution from the vpn interface.
look for this line: `listen-address=127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.2, 10.8.0.1`
Note your listen-address may just contain 127.0.0.1, the next IP should be the local IP of your pi-hole and the final IP, 10.8.0.1 is the PiVPN vpn interface.
If you set this and have your vpn clients use 192.168.1.2 (in my example) as their DNS then you will get ad blocking over your VPN connections.
