📄 Description

I wanted to get the server OpenVPN to run on an IP range that was not 10.8.0.0. I added the ability for the user to specify which range the server shall assign IP addresses. This does not, however, implement custom subnets, it uses the default /24.

My changes are below. You can find these at line 246 in the file openvpn-install.sh. I followed a similar variable name as the others. This variable is then used in place of 10.8.0.0 and 10.8.0.1.

echo "What IP range settings do you want OpenVPN to use?"
echo "   1) Default: 10.8.0.0"
echo "   2) Custom"
until [[ "$IP_CHOICE" =~ ^[1-2]$ ]]; do
	read -rp "IP choice [1-2]: " -e -i 1 IP_CHOICE
done
case $IP_CHOICE in
	1)
		IP_RANGE="10.8.0.0"
	;;
	2)
		until [[ "$IP_RANGE" =~ ^([0-9]{1,3}\.){3}0$ ]]; do
			read -rp "Custom IP [x.x.x.0]: " -e -i 10.8.0.0 IP_RANGE
		done
	;;
esac
