Can't use OVPN from Proton

Post by senglory » Wed Sep 27, 2023 11:13 am

Hi,
Client 3.4.2 (3160), Windows 10 x64 22H2, observing these lines in log:
[Sep 27, 2023, 14:10:18] OpenVPN core 3.8.2connect1 win x86_64 64-bit OVPN-DCO built on Aug 21 2023 16:29:24
[Sep 27, 2023, 14:10:18] Frame=512/2112/512 mssfix-ctrl=1250
[Sep 27, 2023, 14:10:18] NOTE: This configuration contains options that were not used:
[Sep 27, 2023, 14:10:18] Unsupported option (ignored)
[Sep 27, 2023, 14:10:18] 68 [resolv-retry] [infinite]
[Sep 27, 2023, 14:10:18] 74 [persist-key]
[Sep 27, 2023, 14:10:18] 75 [persist-tun]
[Sep 27, 2023, 14:10:18] UNKNOWN/UNSUPPORTED OPTIONS
[Sep 27, 2023, 14:10:18] 79 [block-outside-dns]
My OVPN file has these lines:
client
dev tun
proto tcp

remote 89.187.164.241 443
remote 146.70.72.162 8443
remote 146.70.202.98 443
server-poll-timeout 20

remote-random
resolv-retry infinite
nobind

cipher AES-256-GCM

setenv CLIENT_CERT 0
tun-mtu 1500
mssfix 0
persist-key
persist-tun

reneg-sec 0

remote-cert-tls server
auth-user-pass

block-outside-dns

What should I do with OpenVPN Connect to make it establish connection with Proton VPN?

My own solution: drop this line from OVPN file:

block-outside-dns
