can I setup another IP for my computer while running app?

[korenron]

Hello,
can I run a code that will add another IP to my network card?

for example
my computer is now 10.0.0.2/24
can I make it add 192.168.1.2/24 when I start the code , and then remove it when the code exit?

Thanks,

Probably. What is your OS?

Yes, you can.

import subprocess


def add_ip(ip, interface):
    subprocess.run(["sudo", "ip", "address", "add", ip, "dev", interface])


# enp3s0 is Ethernet
add_ip("172.168.0.1/24", "enp3s0")

The problem here is, that sudo requires that a user enters a password.
You can modify your /etc/sudoers to allow a user the use of ip command without the requirement of a password.


On Windows, it's different. I guess there you have to use the command line tool net.

using windows
but I get the idea (I though maybe there is a ready package that can handle this)
I will give it a try and see

Thank you!
