OpenVPN cannot resolve through dynamic dns
Posted: Thu Jan 23, 2014 6:24 pm
I use a dynamic dns for my home server and when I provide the dynamic dns alias to the openvpn app it cannot resolve the IP address of the server. I have tested the dynamic alias address on other ios apps on the same device, so it does not appear to be an issue with the dns service or the ios device. The app will connect just fine when given the non-alias WAN IP, just not when using the dynamic dns. It also appears to hang the app for several minutes before I can attempt to connect again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
