OpenVPN Support Forum

I used Mullvad VPV that is configured to use Swedish DNS. I can confirm that running the OpenVPN Connect app does not work on iOS 9. It will connect but none of the traffic will go through the tunnel.

I can confirm that none of the traffic goes through the tunnel because I have a DNS leak. My IP address is exposed after running the standard DND leak tests.

I would like to file a bug on a necessary fix to correct the iOS 9 behavior of failure to create encrypted tunnel on iOS.

Device logs below.

While this forum does not provide support for Mullvad-VPN .. I will comment on this:

iOS seems to accept this OK .. perhaps Mullvad have something wrong their end .. you will have to ask Mullvad about that.

update-resolv-conf is for Linux distros to set the DNS servers to the pushed options. Clearly OpenVPN Connect app does not support this method.

Personally, I cannot help much with this as I do not have access to iOS, however ..
If you want to spend some time searching the Forum to find answers try this:

Try this in google (example):

• Code: Select all

  site:forums.openvpn.net iOS dhcp-option DNS

https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/35890

This is the default iOS config which one downloads from the VPN client site. The [update-resolve-conf] config for Linux you mentioned is unrelated to OpenVPN failing to create an encrypted tunnel. Again this setting remains is set by default in the config file and works fine on Windows 10. I do think it's bug 614 related to double stack traffic v6/v4 traffic and IPv4 leakage.
