[Sloved] OpenVPN client inconsistencies with DNS

Post by TheShadow » Fri Apr 09, 2021 7:11 pm

On my personal computer, I can only ping hostnames using the FQDN when using version 3.2.3 and version 2.7.1. Yet I am able to ping hostnames without the FQDN when using version 2.5.1.

However, one of my field co-worker's computer can ping hostnames without using the FQDN when using version 3.2.3. Sadly, they can't ping hostnames without using the FQDN when using version 2.5.1. I didn't try version 2.7.1, since version 3.2.3 worked.

What is the cause of the inconsistencies? Is it the network or is it the computers?

My concern is that my field co-worker will go on to a different network and DNS won't fully be working. I don't want to keep switching client versions simply because they connect using different networks.

Both of these computers are running Windows 10.

I fixed it. I had to update my home computer to 21H1.

I spoke too soon. It stopped working with version 3.2.3. So I had to go back to version 2.5.1.
