[Closed] openvpn meeting point: can openvpn be used as dns ?

Post by phdm » Tue Oct 08, 2013 1:33 pm

Hello,

I have a bunch of devices which are connected only to internet using 3g technology. They get changing dynamic ip-addresses from the mobile internet service provider. On a server with a fixed ip address, I have set up an openvpn server as a meeting-point using the following options in the server.conf file :

dev null
dev-type tun
client-to-client

That creates a virtual network with all my devices. Each device connects itself as a openvpn client automatically to that net when started. Now I would like to access those devices by their name from another openvpn client, where I cannot modify the /etc/hosts file, because it is an android tablet. Is there a way I could make the openvpn server act as a dns server for that private network I have created ?

Thanks in advance
