Upgrade to OpenVPN 1.2.5 (iOS): DNS settings not applied

[dynax60]

Hi,

same problem here. The workaround with redirect-gateway works, although it can't be a permanent solution as all internet traffic from the device goes through VPN connection...

It seems to be related to the Apple Network Extensions migration, do you have any clues on how to permanently resolve this behaviour ?

Hi there,
this answer was given some posts above.
We already have a solution and it has been confirmed to be working by our beta testers.

The next release will be unaffected

Our users already stayed 5 days without access to the corporate network. We have not possible to redirect all client's traffic through our router due to lack of such resources. I understand, you need time to collect a lot of bug fixes to build and release the next revision of the OpenVPN client. But... Is it possible to release critical updates immediately after a successful test? Idle of VPN service is strongly affects on Service Level Agreement in my company. Discontent growing among VPN users. We look forward to the update. Thank you!

Hello, I have the same problem in my Pfsense 2.4.1 box. I could not configure manual DNS with the command push "route $DNS_SERVER_IP 255.255.255.255", neither on the server or in the client.
I already set a DNS Default Domain and DNS Server manually in the configuration of openvpn on pfsense but not work.
The problem is just with IOS because I have clients with android and there is no problem.
Do you know approximatively how much time will it take to release this unaffected new version? Or some temporary solution?
Thanks and sorry for my spanglish!!!

Or some temporary solution?

the solution is in the first post!
just add
redirect-gateway def1
to your ovpn profile file.

With regards to the expected time of the bugfix release, I came across this in another thread:

we are currently going through the final Apple review, therefore we expect a new release anytime this week.

Truly hope this is the case!

This is an example of a ovpn client file, I put in the last line the command but not work. Could you give me an example!! I can configure some user to alleviate the situation, but I must wait for the update, because it is impractical to configure this for my 60 users.

Thanks you very much.
