OpenVPN Support Forum

Hello,

I have set up a simple OpenVPN configuration that routes some internal networks but once I connect with OpenVPN Connect DNS resolution stops to work.

I went so deep and tried a numerous VPN clients(for android, for mac, OpenVPN GUI) and they seem to work and connect as expected.

Searched through the forums and noticed that this might be a common issue but didn't find any solutions.

Is there a way to enable DNS resolution or are there any hidden configs to make this work?

I am not sure what does the OpenVPN GUI do as I am limited in knowledge but would appreciate any help on the case.

Hello m0sh1x2,

It would be helpful if you told us how you have configured the DNS settings on your OpenVPN server, and what the behavior is that you're seeing, and what the behavior is that you're expecting.

For the record, DNS resolution and its settings work perfectly fine on OpenVPN Connect for the overwhelming majority of our customers. But DNS has use cases that are rather difficult and could be an issue. We need details.

Kind regards,
Johan
