Hi, I've been searching for the answer to this for a few hours, and the problem has persisted for a few weeks. (took me a while to nail down what was going wrong)
Anyway, first of all, I'm a noob to all this stuff, but I enjoy fiddling around with it. I had openvpn running just fine for a while until my ISP required that everyone in my building have static IP's.
If I don't set the static IP and DNS in the adapter settings thingy, then dns doesn't work. If I want to visit google, I'd have to punch in googles ip address in the browser etc.
If I have the static IP and DNS set in the adapter settings thingy, then everything works, right up until I activate my openvpn connection, at which point I get exactly the same error as if I had not set the static IP and DNS.
I've been trying to find a solution for this, but I haven't yet found anything useful.
Can anyone help me with this conundrum?
Also would using a static IP and DNS with openvpn pose a security risk?
I'm on windows 7 btw.
Thanks in advance =)
