OpenVPN and DNS settings
Posted: Tue May 12, 2015 9:07 am
Hi,
First post here. I've searched the forum and not found and answer to my question, so hopefully someone can help me here.
I've set up my Gargoyle v1.7.1 Netgear WNDR3700 to use OpenVPN Client connecting to PIA.
I can connect to PIA through OpenVPN ok, but DNS resolution isn't working. I have internet access to ping IP addresses and so, but typing the actual url gives DNS resolution errors.
I've tried changing the Connection/Basic/ Local Network / LAN DNS settings from the default DNS servers to PIA's without any difference. The same goes for choosing any of the other DNS options in the menu (Google, OpenDNS, etc). I've also tried various other custom DNS' without success.
Does anyone know how to get DNS working? Do I need to put some commands in the OpenVPN config or firewall to make it work?
Thanks.
