This script sets up static client IPs when using OpenVPN of VPN Server package.

• Pass the client list like this: "<username>:<ipsuffix>" (e. g. "john:202" will make sure that user john will be assigned IP 10.8.0.202)
• Please follow Synology/OpenVPN convention and only assign even numbers greater than: 2 + 4 * <max-clients>
• Use IP-suffixes great enough in order not to conflict with the build in dynamic assignment
• The script is able to automatically update itself using git.

• install the package Git Server on your Synology NAS, make sure it is running (requires sometimes extra action in Package Center and SSH running)
• alternatively add SynoCommunity to Package Center and install the Git package (https://synocommunity.com/)

• create a shared folder e. g. sysadmin (you want to restrict access to administrators and hide it in the network)
• connect via ssh to the NAS and execute the following commands

# navigate to the shared folder
cd /volume1/sysadmin
# clone the following repo
git clone https://github.com/alexanderharm/syno-openvpn-static-ip
# to enable autoupdate
