I'm setting up a Raspberry Pi with OpenVPN on my home network. The router for my network is a NetGear Orbi.
In the router's configuration I'm able to assign a static internal IP address (say 10.0.1.200) to the VPN server based on its MAC address.
I could also set the VPN server to use a static internal IP address (10.0.1.200) by adding an entry to its /etc/dhcpcd.conf file.
So one way I'm telling the router to assign a static IP address to the VPN server using DHCP, and the other way I'm telling the VPN server directly to use a static address.
Can I do both (for the same IP address, obviously) or will they interfere with each other? Should I do both? If not, which way is preferable?
