Can someone explain this too me as I tried to figure this out but I couldn’t
I set static IP on OSMC addon but in “ifconfig” it’s showing a different one
Also it’s showing two IPs for the same MAC address in my router settings
Reboot worked. But i also set static IP in router. I will remove the static and router and reboot again
osmc runs python right? so it “scraps” the result of ifconfig, so how it would show a different IP?
the addon is python
underneath is should use the usual linux apps like ifconfig
perhaps that it doesn’t checks for updated ip, i have not looked at the code
What is weird is i recently installed OpenVPN, my other two rpis doesn’t had this issue
So I’m wondering if have anything related
Removing the static IP from router I get again different IPs:
just remember that OSMC uses connman instead of DNSMasq
VPN can be troublesome on OSMC seen plenty of uses try to battle with connman
recommend setting up a hotspot instead that they can connect to that connects to the vpn 
less problematic
thanks.
but I will enabled static IP in router again as It seems to fixed it. VPN and everything still working fine
