      General network troubleshooting. I would first use dig or drill to be sure the DNS configuration was sane and doing what it expected.

      Look at the routing table to be sure it is sane.

      Etc.

        Dig and nslookup both work and are using the correct local address for DNS Resolver - 192.168.20.1

        The routing table seems to be where the problem is.

        10.7.4.1 is the Virtual Address Pool from Mobile Clients.

        No idea where the 172.20.10.X stuff is coming from.

        Next steps?

          You'll have to talk to someone more familiar with Windows IKEv2 than I am.

              No need to get nasty.

              The font threw me, and the fact that it's a screen shot instead of a copy/paste. We usually get that from Windows users.

                No nasty intent at all, sorry if it came across that way. Was being sincere - I appreciate you taking the time to at least point me in the right direction.

                    Your font instincts were pretty good though. I output the netstat results to a file and then opened it in the text editor on my windows machine and when I tried to paste it to the forum the columns were all messed up so I went with a screenshot so it would be easily readable.

                      what is the output of:

                      scutil --dns when you are connected to the VPN?

                          So when you're connected to the VPN do both of these work quickly? (one sec)

                          dig @172.20.20.1 www.google.com

                              Just in case you had a typo I also ran

                              dig @172.20.10.1 www.google.com

                              this responded under 200ms as well.

                                Yeah that was a typo. Sorry. If both name servers respond in the same time frame (200ms is nothing to write home about) then I guess it's not DNS. If you do not NEED the clients to use a DNS server on the other side of the VPN, I don't think I would push it to them.

                                What, specifically, are you seeing?

                                  My reason for pushing DNS to the other side is so that I can connect to machines on the other side using the hostnames stored in DNS Resolver and that part works. It's the internet connection that's the problem.

                                  The thing that I can't get my head around is where is 172.20.10.1 coming from, as far as I know I didn't set it up.
