OpenVPN Support Forum

Due to the way Windows10 insists on using ALL configured DNS servers (see):
topic19634.html#p54826

Has anybody found a way to save the default DNS settings and replace them with OpenVPN pushed DNS servers:
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/ticket/605#ticket

It would be great if somebody could find a suitable solution.

Brevity demands this:
superuser: How can I over-ride Windows10 default DNS Servers

A little more searching found a promising method:
superuser: Change DNS with script

Adapt for Windows 10 using batch: netsh>

OpenVPN.Client: --up script

• Save current DNS settings to file.
• Delete current DNS settings on eth0/wlan0 etc (if possible ..)
• Leave only DNS settings on tun0

OpenVPN.Client: --down script

• Restore saved DNS setting from file

I do not have access to W10 to develop this ..

Has anybody tried this on W10 ?

Manual solution doesn't work because it's a bit outdated but the script works fine.

Not working, after you did manual clearing, still leaking.

At this time, if you use W10 and have a DNS leak we ask that you try this:

Anyone get this fix working? Still having issues with DNS leaking on our windows clients connecting to our Access Server.
How do I get the fix working for OpenVPN Connect?

i didn't have a chance to test this to know it has any effect , but maybe somebody can let us know
if you change the order of the adapters , would it behave the same way ?

Did you take the time to read the entire trac ?
