DNS leaks
-
That DNS leak test thing doesn't show crap for me…
With pfsense acting as OpenVPN client to a VPN provider?

No - With clients directly on pfsense or using pfsense as openvpn server.
All that page is doing is looking at where you get your DNS, so far as I can tell. -

All that page is doing is looking at where you get your DNS, so far as I can tell.I have no problems at all with your configuration. No leaks. My conf is different: pfsense is acting as OpenVPN client to a VPN service provider, so I'd like to use ONLY provider's DNS server.

If they have a couple DNS servers, that should be no problem. If they aren't providing DNS servers, you are out of luck. You could also run your own DNS server?

They definitely have their own DNS servers! The matter seems to be that pfsense is not accepting all the pushed configs (OpenVPN foreign_option).

Is it possible you can get their server IPs from them and enter them manually?

Not really an option for most people, you are stuck with no DNS at all once the client gets disconnected. The foreign options support is pretty much required to work not just on Windows. Usually done via up/down scripts and resolvconf package on Linux distros.

Thats good - Then when the vpn is down, the internet won't work, which is how I like it when I want a full time vpn running.
Thats exactly the way my phone behaves. You either have vpn or you have nothing. -
Its been several years, is this still the case? Followed this tutorial below and ended up in the same boat with VPN provided DNS servers not being picked up by pfsense/openvpn client. Would it be possible to add an additional argument to make this work? Thanks in advance

Wow. Resurrecting a thread from 2013? OK, I'll bite.
When I run dnsleaktest, the result is my vpn server ip for wan and dns.
Make sure dns resolver is running.
Uncheck forwarding mode.
Select the vpn interface in Outgoing Network Interfaces.
Do not enter dns servers in General settings. -

Well I ran into the same problem lol.

Select the vpn interface in Outgoing Network Interfaces.
Do not enter dns servers in General settings.That does the trick and gives me the ability to use my vpn dns for my lan traffic. Kind of something I didn't even know I wanted. Thanks!!

This is off topic but I would like to highlight the firewall rules for the LAN interface in the PIA tutorial
The proposed changes to the default LAN firewall rules are only necessary with more advanced firewall configurations.

For my setup I required the defined gateway on my lan but not on the my vpn interface. (I had defined both gateways which blocked me from accessing my LAN from the VPN) Thank you so much!
