Static IP assignment

Defguard allows you to manually assign static IPs to user devices in the VPN network.

Assigned IPs don't change unless one of the following scenarios occurs:

  • The network address is changed and the assigned IP no longer fits. This causes the IP address to change to the next available IP in the new address space.

  • The user is disabled and then enabled.

  • The user's access to a network is modified in any way. For example, a user is removed and then re-added to an allowed group, or an allowed group is removed and later added to a network.

Changing IP of all user devices

To change the IP address of any user device, navigate to the user list.

Then, open the context menu next to a given user and select "User devices IP settings".

Here you can manage all IP assignments for all devices belonging to that user in all networks.

Changing IP address of a specific device

To change the IP address of a specific device, navigate to a user's profile page.

Next, go to the "Devices" tab.

Open the context menu for a selected device and choose "Device IP settings".

Here you can manage all IPs for the selected device.
