block-outside-dns with internal website
Posted: Fri Dec 25, 2020 2:39 am
I'm a noob, so please forgive my lack of expertise.
I recently tested 5 Australian ISPs and found that all of them appear to be routing all DNS traffic to 89.187.162.162 and 89.187.162.215. From the reading I've done on several websites including ipleak.net, ipleak.org, dnsleaktest.com and several others this seems to be a Transparent DNS Proxy.
I have 10 PCs here. I've added block-outside-dns to the .ovpn files. This seems to plug the leak when I'm using a VPN, but I can't find a way t stop the leak when not connected to a VPN. I never use the ISP DNS. I [try to] use my VPN providers DNS servers on and off VPN, but the traffic is being hijacked.
I run a Windows 2012 R2 server (I would run Server 2019 but WSUS is broken on that platform). I have IIS running and have a couple of personal websites
With block-outside-dns in place I'm finding that my internal websites are not accessible by name. For example http://server/website1 or http://server/website2
Assume I'm using 192.168.1.0/24 and the server is on .1. If I use 192.168.1.1/website1 I can access the site. Removing the block-outside-dns restores access by name.
Is this fixable or am I going to have to use the IP address for all internal access?
