      So, I created an OpenVPN Server using the wizard and when the server is enabled, it breaks my DNS.  Which means, I can get to google using it's IP address but now using the URL.  When I disable the server everything works again.

      So I am confused, I am not sure why OpenVPN is affecting my internal workstations.

      I will describe what I want and if anyone can provide insight as to what I need to configure, that would be great.

      Externally I want:

      External workstation (my work computer) –-> OpenVPN ---> DHCP Server (To distribute an IP Address, DNS Settings ect...) ---> Internet + access to network resources

      Internally I want:
      Workstation ---> Internet (Which I have when OpenVPN is turned off)

      What I don't want (But what's happening it seems)

      Internal Workstations ---> OpenVPN ---> DNS BROKEN (When OpenVPN is ON)
