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

Code: Select all

allow-pull-fqdn

to the client config ; with that you can use

Code: Select all

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.
