DNS Not Working

Abbott

Debian Jessie Server
OpenVPN Connect for Android
Server .conf: http://0x0.st/iXF.conf
Client .conf: http://0x0.st/i8i.conf

I can connect to the VPN and access local machines on my VPN LAN and I can access resolved urls just fine, but DNS does not work. I am pushing the two DNS addresses of OpenDNS, but I have also tried the Google DNS addresses as well with no success. Is there anything wrong with my configuration files?

Thank you

If you can connect to your server ..

then your configs are ok.

Have you read this:
HOWTO: Routing all client traffic (including web-traffic) through the VPN

Have you enabled NAT on your server ?

Also:

Your Server.conf wrotepush "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0"

NOTE: your local LAN uses the extremely common subnet address 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x. Be aware that this might create routing conflicts if you connect to the VPN server from public locations such as internet cafes that use the same subnet.

:arrow: Never use 192.168.0.0/24 or 192.168.1.0/24 (or other common subnets) for your OpenVPN Server LAN :!:

I've switched my server subnet to 10.0.0.x and switched the pushed DNS server to 10.8.0.1. I can see that NAT is enabled here:

I'm still getting DNS errors when I am connected though. Is there anything else that could be wrong? Am I supposed to do something else to configure my VPN server to handle DNS queries?

Is 10.8.0.1 a DNS server ? .. if not use opendns or google DNS.

Skaperen

push "dhcp-option DNS 208.67.222.222"
push "dhcp-option DNS 208.67.220.220"

looks like opendns ... why push anything else besides the google ones, opennic, etc. what is 10.8.0.1 ?

i suspect you need to enable forwarding and masquerading on your server.
