      Hi,

      I've installed pfSense on a Mini PC, completed the wizard and then followed the vpn.ac tutorial on how to install OpenVPN client on pfSense:-

      https://vpn.ac/knowledgebase/63/OpenVPN-on-pfSense.html

      However I'm having intermittent DNS issues where some sites will not resolve over the VPN, if I disable the VPN all works OK.

      Here is a typical result when the VPN is enabled.

      C:\WINDOWS\system32>nslookup google.com
      Server: pfSense.localdomain
      Address: 2401:a400:2303:b000:2e0:4cff:fe68:1bb3

      Non-authoritative answer:
      Name: google.com
      Addresses: 2404:6800:4006:804::200e
      172.217.25.142

      C:\WINDOWS\system32>nslookup dnsleaktest.com
      Server: pfSense.localdomain
      Address: 2401:a400:2303:b000:2e0:4cff:fe68:1bb3

      DNS request timed out.
      timeout was 2 seconds.
      *** Request to pfSense.localdomain timed-out

      C:\WINDOWS\system32>

      Does anything need to be changed in the DNS Resolver setup as I've left this at the default?  Or, maybe some other issue.

      TIA

      Greg
