OpenVPN Support Forum

Hi,
I confirm the DNS problem in 8.0.2, using either WLAN or Cellular
If I check the server I see the DNS request coming outside the VPN traffic and as my DNS server only allows requests from the private network the request get lost
I solve it using the directive:

push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.4.4"

wich bypasses my local DNS Server and used the Goolge DNS.
I don't like it as I want to use my local DNS server to filter known dangerous sites, but at least now it works.

If you have a better solution let me know

I was too fast, and have now a better solution.

My setup is the following
* OpenVPN on port 443 behind Apache
* Using DNSMasq in port 53 in same host

Using Android I haven't found any problem. With IOS I have not been able to resolve DNS in the last versions, including the last 8.0.2

In order to solve the problem I changed the configuration below from:
(PUBLIC-IP is the public IP of my server)
to (PRIVATE-IP is the server IP in the VPN tunnel, in my case 10.8.0.1)

Now it works... until next IOS update...
I hope it helps

Anyone try 8.1 released today? DNS issues resolved?

My OpenVPN Connect won't even open on iOS 8.1

So many things have gone bad... I regret upgrading to 8.1....! APPLE...! WTH are you doing?!?!?!

Upgraded to 8.1 release version from 8.1 beta 2 and found OpenVPN Connect App is working better but there still may be some problems for iOS 8.1 to handle the multitasking / memory issue or OpenVPN Connect App need to update to copy with the iOS 8's new feature.

When doing some intensive browsing using Safari. the VPN will be disconnected.

I am not sure if it is my iPad 2 issue as it is quite old for iOS 8.
