DNS resolution for OpenVPN cleints

[chudak]

Hello all

Trying to clarify some settings related to my DNS server and OpenVPN clients

I see in information my DNS as:

DNS server(s)
127.0.0.1
8.8.4.4
156.154.71.1
129.250.35.251

My OpenVPN client log shows:

2017-06-18 09:41:24 OPTIONS:
0 [route] [192.168.90.1] [255.255.255.0]
1 [redirect-gateway] [def1]
2 [route-gateway] [192.168.2.1]
3 [topology] [subnet]
4 [ping] [10]
5 [ping-restart] [60]
6 [ifconfig] [192.168.2.3] [255.255.255.0]

I'd like OpenVPN clients be able to resolve hosts by name, but not sure how to make it happen

Thx in advance!

In the OpenVPN setting enable 'DNS Server enable'.

Verify DNS1 is your own local server.

i tried that so far with no luck :(

my Subnet 192.168.90.0

i enabled in VPN-OpenVPN-Servers - "DNS Server enable" "Provide a DNS server list to clients" and added "DNS Server 1" 192.168.90.1

looks ok?

I have this enabled too: Redirect Gateway - Force all client generated traffic through the tunnel.
See if that changes it for you.

Plus this setting, Force DNS cache update.

i had "Redirect Gateway Force all client generated traffic through the tunnel." enabled
and enabled "Force DNS cache update" and no love still

Are you accessing the hostname with the FQDN like printer.mydomain.com ?
