No DNS in client

I'm setting up OpenVPNas 2.8.8 (upgrade to 2.9 isn't working) but i noticed i did not get any DNS for the windows client. In the client log it says it is giving: dns_servers=[ip]
When checking for a DNS server it does not give any ip back. When performing nslookup to the internal DNS server it works, so no networking issue their.
I have configure my DNS address in 'VPN Settings'.
Anyone has any pointers for me?

Hi There,
What connect client version you are using?
Can you try changing your configuration on Access Server under CONFIGURATION >> VPN Settings >> DNS Settings and select "
Have clients use specific DNS servers" and put on your
primary and
secondary DNS and try again?
You should be getting something like:
Code: Select all
netsh interface ip set dnsservers 9 static 8.8.8.8 register=primary validate=no
netsh interface ip add dnsservers 9 8.8.4.4 2 validate=no
NRPT::ActionCreate names=[.] dns_servers=[8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4]
ActionWFP openvpn_app_path=C:\Program Files\OpenVPN Connect\OpenVPNConnect.exe tap_index=9 enable=1
permit IPv4 DNS requests from OpenVPN app
permit IPv6 DNS requests from OpenVPN app
Also, I think it is much better if you just create a support ticket for this for us to work on it directly via our ticketing system?
