[QUOTE="Studynxx, post: 1097172, member: 98674"] I could block the LAN subnet on my server's firewall, sure, but the problem is that the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet is the one that approx. 90% of ISPs use, unless I am mistaken, so if I did do that, then eg. when I'm in a hotel room connected to their WIFI, I would essentially block myself from connecting to my VPN server which isn't good So I thought OK, let's use the LAN MAC address instead, it's very unlikely to change and it's not like 2 routers are going to have the exact same MAC address. I like this idea, however I don't think I can implement it on the server side (and I suck at bash, I only do powershell and batch, not bash) So I'd like to implement it on the [B]client[/B] side ie in the [B]opnvpn client config [/B]file, but how can I do that? I've looked at a lot of sites and still can't figure it out. Would appreciate some help [/QUOTE]
