DNS issues

[bjs04]

I have a paid subscription to a vpn service that uses openvpn. As per their instructions I installed openvpn in ubuntu 10.04 and then copied their configuration file and keys into the appropriate directories. I am able to connect to their vpn with the command "openvpn /etc/openvpn/openvpn-Swe.conf" as sudo and entering my user name and password. However when looking at the traffic in wireshark(my ethernet interface) all of my dns queries are sent from my local ip to my router, but every other packet is sent to the vpn server address as udp packets. Isn't the dns supposed to be going through the tunnel?

Hi,

Please post your Server config file here that will help us.

Also all the traffic sent is UDP because in your server.conf file you select proto type as UDP.

If you change it to TCP all the traffic sent is as TCP.
