Local DNS Server

Post by DC1234 » Wed Jun 17, 2020 8:32 pm

Hello, I have installed an OPENVPN server on my Raspberry and so far it works! I cannot address my internal devices by DNS name, it only works by IP address. Does anyone have any idea what I have to do !? My client is an Android phone with the OpenVPN app.

My OpenVPNConf

Code: Select all

### Route Configurations Below
route 192.168.254.0 255.255.255.0

### Push Configurations Below
push block-outside-dns
push dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8
push dhcp-option DNS 8.8.4.4
A test to change the Push DHCP option to 192.168.x.x (my internal DNS) did not help!

You need a DNS server.

I have an internal DNS server (Pihole) but the point is that after the VPN Connect this is not addressed. The Android phone always uses the public one and not my own!

That is because you are pushing a public DNS.
