I have the same problem right now.
Where do I have to place this command?

you have to add it manually to the client configuration file:

dhcp-option DNS 10.8.0.1

if your OpenVPN server is at 10.8.0.1

I have the same problem. I solve it by entering an alternate DNS in my Android openVPN client, but adding it to the config file is a better solution.

To add it to the .conf and the .ovpn files I just enter these details in a new line beneath the existing info?
I noticed both files are not properly rendered in Notepad, but Wordpad seems to do the job!
