Add an option to force DNS lookup for remote server every time

Post by march_happy » Tue Mar 03, 2020 11:20 am

I am running an OVPN server at my homelab, but it doesn't have a static IPv4/IPv6 address. When the server's IP address changes I could no longer connect to the server, even though I have tried restarting OpenVPN GUI, OpenVPN Interactive Service and run "ipconfig /flushdns" with admin privilege.

Code: Select all
