DNS Cache in IOS and problem connecting

Post by laferrierec@seyla.net » Fri May 22, 2015 7:52 pm

Hi,
I run a pfsense box which has an OpenVPN server running. It is behind a dynamic IP which is updated using Zoneedit.
Now when checking the IP of my domain xxx.net, it is updated as one would expect.
However, whenever I connect with the IOS Openvpn APP, it seems as though the app tries to use the IP address in the machine's DNS cache and does NOT call a DNS server for an updated IP address.
Other than flushing the cache from the iPhone / iPad, what is going on and can this be fixed ?

The .ovpn package that is created by the pfsense box sets the destination address s xxx.net NOT an IP address since it is dynamic.

any assistance would be appreciated.

Chris.

pfSense: webConfigurator
  • Openvpn: Server
    • DNS Servers: [X] Provide a DNS server list to clients
      • Fill in the blanks ..
