# FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
## What boards/OSes does PiVPN support?
PiVPN runs at least on the following boards:
* Raspberry Pi 1/2/3 running Raspbian Jessie, Raspbian Jessie Lite.
* All SBC's running DietPi. This is currently: Raspberry Pi's (all models), Odroid C1, Odroid C2 (arm64), Odroid XU3/4, Pine A64, NanoPi NEO, NanoPi NEO Air, NanoPi M1, NanoPi M2/T2, NanoPi M3/T3, Banana Pi Pro Banana Pi M2+, OrangePi PC and OrangePi One
* Most servers running a Debian or Ubuntu based distro.
## Can I change the hostname, the IP address, protocol or port after the install?
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/>.
