Abstract
Systems and methods for assigning a persistent internet protocol (IP) address to a virtual private network (VPN) client. The method includes receiving, at a first server, a request for access from a first VPN client, the request including access credentials and the first server having a routing table; sending, from the first server, the access credentials to an access server; receiving, from the access server at the first server, a first static IP address to be assigned to the first VPN client, wherein the first static IP address is selected from a plurality of available static IP addresses; assigning the first static IP address to the first VPN client; and adding the first static IP address to a static routing path in the routing table, the static routing path specifying an interface to which traffic associated with the first VPN client is to be routed. The static routing path is configured to be referenced to enable traffic associated with the first VPN client to be directed through the interface.
