Greetings to all geniuses
I have been using Dnsmasq and Sniproxy to filter out some domains. Also helps me watch geo restricted content.
But Sniproxy is no more updated.
So was thinking to replace Sniproxy with OpenVPN, is this possible ?
Can somebody help me with this ?

Thanking all
Regards

Hi dr,

Not sure you will find many geniuses here, but here's one familiar with networking concepts. Unfortunately I am not familiar with sniproxy, and too busy to look it up now. :)

Access Server does not provide DNS service. If you want DNS service through OpenVPN Access Server you must install and run your own DNS resolver software, or use an external resolver such as Google or Cloudflare.

You might be interested in the OpenVPN Cloud service, which does provide DNS services and filtering features.
