DNS Leak - Configuring OpenVPN to Block Outside DNS

searchlight

I have read many how-tos about preventing a DNS Leak using OpenVPN and many refer to use the configuration to Block-Outside-DNS but I do not see any option in the latest version of OpenVPN. Everyone refers to version 2.3.9 which I cannot find anywhere.

I am using v2.3.11 the latest.

Secondly, there is another reference to downloading .dll files and adding a line to key files.

I am very confused by all this and would appreciate it if someone could be more specific about how-to do each.

Moreover, there are references to patches that can do all this but I cannot find them either.

Please help. Thanks.

If you are using Windows 7/8.x/100 then simply add this to the server config:

push "dhcp-option DNS x.x.x.x"
push "block-outside-dns"

where x.x.x.x is a valid DNS server ..

Use the latest version 2.3.11

I have no idea what the rest of your question refers to ..

Do you mean add these two lines to each of my servers key files? And are you referring to a static ip address?

Can you be more specific where to add the lines you described?

What is confusing is that elsewhere there is reference to downloading .dll files into the config folder, and adding a line to each server key file, and then another reference to a Patch created to block DNS Leaks.

No .. read my post.

Alternately, add this to your client configuration file:

block-outside-dns

but make sure the OpenVPN server pushes a DNS server ..
