I newly installed Chaos Calmer on my router. Also OpenVPN and DDNS is working well.

Now i have to change the standard IP Range of OpenWRT from 192.168.1.0 to something like 10.6.1.0 because some tutorials of vpn configuration mentioned to change the standard ranges...

Therefore i went into interface lan and change the ip of the router from 192.168.1.1 to 10.6.1.1 but after that it was not reachable any longer...i thought this should be the right way because i searched for dhcp addresses and only found that it start from 100 and ends up to 150 therefore i thought it would automatically recognize my change of the network...it seems not.

So, is there a tutorial  or can please give me some information how to handle this change so i can reach my router.

thx

What is the IP of your pc?

Before choosing a subnet from the 10.0.0.0/8 range, make sure that these are not used by the ISPs you might encounter. Especially cell providers often choose that particular range for their mobile networks.

You need to make sure that your PC gets the new address via DHCP, or you assign a fixed IP from the new range. (Easiest might be to just reboot your PC.)

Additionally, reboot the router first, so that all network apps in the router get the router's new IP address properly. Otherwise it is possible that some service still uses the old address.

ok that means -> change ip von lan0 interface -> reboot router -> than i should get an new ip from new range...there is no other configuration else to do...

@ISP -> mine uses 10.0.0.0 -> should i therefore try a different ip range than my 10.6.1.0 -> i thought that it should work? isn't it?
