![]() ![]() However, internet connections usually only have a dynamic public IP address, which changes at least after 24 hours and prevents the server from permanently being accessed at the same IP address. You should keep the VPN server constantly accessible at the same address over the internet as well. Linking a constant private IP address with Raspberry Pi is more important for the use of OpenVPN: The VPN server needs to always be accessible on the local network at the same address if you want to have continual access. To use an SSH client, it’s advisable to allocate a static, private IP address in the local network to Raspberry Pi – otherwise, you’ll have to reselect your current dynamic address and reconnect the client to the mini-computer every time that you want to access it via the SSH. Normally, you can access the router menu by calling the address “192.168.1.1” (or myrouter.local for Linksys Smart Wi-Fi router users) in your browser. The IP address of your Raspberry Pi can be shown, for example, via the router menu of your browser. To connect the SSH to Raspberry Pi, you specify its IPv4 address in the client (the computer with which you want to access Raspberry Pi) and link them with each other. Remote maintenance of the server by means of SSH is the recommended choice in most cases since this is the easiest way to access the VPN server from another computer at a later date.įor this purpose, there are various widely-used software options such as PuTTY, WinSCP (for Windows), or OpenSSH (for Unix operating systems) through which you can control and operate Raspberry Pi. ![]() You must decide whether you want to set up the VPN server directly on Raspberry Pi (with a connected monitor, mouse, and keyboard) or through an SSH client.
