Push webdomains to clients

sergani

Dear all,

I've been able to push specific IP addresses, or even subnets, and it's working beautifully!
Can one expand this as well to push website names as well?

Case: I would like to push www.example.com to my clients, as well as www.yahoo.com etc... I mean selective website names.

add

allow-pull-fqdn

to the client config ; with that you can use

push "www.google.com 255.255.255.255"

and the likes.

I didn't know this. Bookmarked this post for future reference.

Ok so I've been fooling around for a while and all's working fantastically well!

Is it possible to route *.yahoo.com through the VPN server? Currently what I push is what I route; www.yahoo.com. Say for example I need to route mail.yahoo.com and such, what should I do?
I tried .yahoo.com 0.0.0.0 but that did nothing, as expected. I didn't read anything about OpenVPN making use of regex.

openvpn does not use regexp for this; wildcards would never work in this case, as you'd have conditional routing based on a DNS name - I am not aware of any software that can do that on the networking (L3) level. As I said, you'd be better off usiing a SOCKS proxy for this.
