I have continued looking for how to do this and have now many spent hours on it. I have been reading ovenVPN manuals and "how to's" and cannot find what I would think is simple imformation. I even tried looking at some of the "ovpn generator tooIs" but none generate more than a basic ovpn file (which I have working except for this IP address issue). I believe I can get this to work if either:
1) I had access to the R9000 generated VPN server config file
-or-
2) knew what directives to put in client.ovpn file (preferred)
There many posts about how to get a static IP assigned to a client which would be fine in this case, but I cannot get any of them to work.
Any help on this wluld be very welcome. Thanks!
