## Tell Gluetun to change IP daily (optional but recommended)
**Don't forget to replace `/path/to/` with a proper path**
- Control server documentation https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun-wiki/blob/main/setup/advanced/control-server.md
Start by exposing the Gluetun control server internally (DO NOT EXPOSE IT EXTERNALLY, KEEP `127.0.0.1`), add this port mapping to Gluetun:
```
ports:
- 127.0.0.1:8000:8000/tcp # Control server
```
Write a script named `restartvpn.sh` and add this content to it:
! Remember to replace /path/to/ with the path you want the log to go (either the script location, or `/var/log/`) !
Note: `2>&1` sent STDERR to STDOUT, `tee /path/to/restartvpn.log` will write the output of the script to /path/to/restartvpn.log (in the current directory) (while still printing it to the shell)
```bash
echo BEGIN 2>&1 | tee /path/to/restartvpn.log
curl -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/publicip/ip" 2>&1 | tee /path/to/restartvpn.log # Print the original IP
curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"status":"stopped"}' "http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/openvpn/status" 2>&1 | tee /path/to/restartvpn.log # Stop OpenVPN
sleep 5
curl -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"status":"running"}' "http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/openvpn/status" 2>&1 | tee /path/to/restartvpn.log # Start OpenVPN (changing the server it's connecting to)
sleep 5
curl -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:8888/v1/openvpn/status" 2>&1 | tee /path/to/restartvpn.log # Print the Gluetun status
curl -X GET "http://127.0.0.1:8000/v1/publicip/ip" 2>&1 | tee /path/to/restartvpn.log # Print the new IP
echo END 2>&1 | tee /path/to/restartvpn.log
```
Run this daily using cron
Run `crontab -e` and add a new cronjob:
```
@daily /path/to/restartvpn.sh
```
