DNS resolve on WINDOWS 10

shlomi

Hi,

I have an issue on windows 10.
The VPN is connecting fine, and I can access the remote NT.

The problem is that the default DNS doesn't change to the DNS server supplied by the VPN.
If I remove the DNS server from the main Network Adapter, then it resolve truth the DNS server supplied by the VPN connection.

Is there any command, or a workaround for this issue?

The same client, with the same configuration works fine on WIN 7.

Thank you.

I don't know if this will work but you could try pushing register-dns ..

See --register-dns in The Manual v23x

Hi, and thank you for the respond.
I have this option on, but yet, it doesnt help in win10.

Figures out that windows 10 sends semultanios requests on all interfaces and uses the fastest respond, with some limitations. It can't be disabled as in win8.
The only way I see is, disabling all dns servers on all other interfases.
If someone has a better way please let me know.

Are you using --redirect-gateway ?

shlomi

Nope, I dont want to raute the traffic truth, just to be part of the network and use its dns resolving.

redirect-gateway won't help if the local dns is in the same subnet as the client.

this is the case in most home installations...

You could try (for testing: server config):

push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp block-local"

which will force even local client packets through the VPN, except for the default gateway, which is often the DNS server also.

It depends on your setup, for which you have posted no details, so I am just guessing ...

shlomi

Ok, ill try that, thank you
