Problem with dns over vpn

Post by Giordo » Thu Apr 20, 2017 10:59 am

Hi,
i'm trying to use ovpn to connect my phone to my dns server which can filter dns request, but i don't know how to send only dns request over vpn and furthermore i can't set my server as the dns server. Searching on the internet i found that it is not possible to change dns without rooting the phone. Is it true? Do you know if it is just a problem with my client and server ovpn settings? How can i send only dns request over vpn?
I don't know if this is the right place where to ask and i don't know if anyone can answer to my questions, but i hope so.
If you need more information or something is not clear, ask and i will answer.
Thanks

I solved my problem. I found that my provider was the problem. I couldn't establish a vpn connection because my provider block encrypted udp traffic.
I simply changed protocol to tcp and now it works.
