How to set IP to Dynamic?

Question

I need help changing my IP to dynamic or confirming that my is IP to dynamic because I may have set it to static when I installed PiVPN.

/etc/network/interfaces is basically empty

Your looking for /etc/dhcpd.conf not the interfaces file. This is a very good explanation. — mintyfreshpenguin, Nov 03 '17 at 14:00
This helped, thanks, I just removed a line that made my IP static. — Zayyir Cornelio, Nov 06 '17 at 09:46

That will connect you to a wireless network but not change the IP if it already has been statically assigned. Of the static address is not in the same range this would fail. – Andy Anderson Sep 20 '18 at 07:19

This command is to confirm you real IP address. If the IP changed in period of time, normally, it is regarded as not static IP.

curl -s http://ipv4.icanhazip.com

You mention you use a VPN service. If the VPN successfully run up, you are able to use the above command to check the IP address.
