OpenVPN Android and DNS
-
Hi,
i've followed the guides and setup openVPN on my pfsense (both on hardware purchased through the website and I am now using software version at home).
I want to connect my android device to pfsense via openvpn so that i can access the internal network.
I do not want all my androids traffic routed through the VPN. (i have not ticked the box)Everything works, except DNS on my android device does not work. I can reach google by entering googles ip address in the browser on my device.
I've tried specifing DNS on pfsense but this does not work (tried setting pfsense management IP address and google DNS).
any help much appreciated.
typos - INTERNAL, not INTERNET (modified above)

Configure your Android VPN client to use a public DNS server or set up the OpenVPN server to provide DNS servers to clients which are capable to resolve the hostnames.

Thanks for the reply.
I was using the OpenVPN connect and this did not have the option to change DNS (that i could see).
so i tried OpenVPN for Android and set google DNS - but same issue.
Any ideas?
