VPN - DNS - Names vs IP

Brian

Hello. I have created a VPN on a UDM Pro. I am using OpenVPN to connect remotely. I can ping server IP but cannot ping server name. I am needing to map some shares and can get to them by \serverip but not \servername. For some reason the name will not resolve. I check DNS and it seems fine or at least not throwing any errors. Does anyone have any ideas why names will not resolve?

Hi Brian,

Have you specified the nameserver for DNS when setting up your VPN server solution?

If the setup is done correctly then connection logs will include lines like --dhcp-option or --dns with the dns server being followed up as an argument.

An example would be:

[dns] [server] [0] [address] [10.10.10.10]
