I have no problems with establishing a connection from client to server for the VPN.
I can ping 4.2.2.2 with no problems through the VPN:
Pinging 4.2.2.2 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 4.2.2.2: bytes=32 time=167ms TTL=52

However, I have issues with DNS resolution:
nslookup www.google.com
Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address: 8.8.8.8
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Request to google-public-dns-a.google.com timed-out
But to nslookup an IP would give me this:
nslookup 8.8.8.8
Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address: 8.8.8.8
Name: google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address: 8.8.8.8
And pinging any hostname would give me this:
Ping request could not find host google.com. Please check the name and try again.
