Description
- the hostname is not in DNS
- the server is behind a transparent proxy
- ...
For this cases we should add a text field in the OpenVPN roadwarrior UI form that overrides the host name when creating .ovpn
configuration files for the clients.

I have done this modification to the script to support this feature, by simply defining a prop per openvpn.
I already tested it and it's working: if the prop is defined the client will receive the defined remote, if not it will receive the hostname as usual.
This is the little modification:
[root@ts ~]# diff -u /usr/libexec/nethserver/openvpn-local-client.ori /usr/libexec/nethserver/openvpn-local-client --- /usr/libexec/nethserver/openvpn-local-client.ori 2015-08-27 18:01:52.000000000 +0200 +++ /usr/libexec/nethserver/openvpn-local-client 2015-10-21 15:00:03.922377340 +0200 @@ -31,7 +31,11 @@ } $OUT .= "client\n"; -$OUT .= "remote $SystemName.$DomainName\n"; +if ($openvpn->prop('Remote')) { + $OUT .= "remote ".$openvpn->prop('Remote')."\n"; +}else{ + $OUT .= "remote $SystemName.$DomainName\n"; +} $OUT .= "port ".$openvpn->prop('UDPPort')."\n"; $OUT .= "float\n";
now if you want to forse a specific remote just declare it as a standard prop:
config setprop openvpn Remote IP_ADDRESS_PUBLIC_NAME
