OpenVPN on Linux client

pweb · May 3, 2019, 10:41 AM

I have issues with running OpenVPN on a Linux PC. I'm able to make a connection to pfSense and I have also access to all my clients in my LAN. But when I'm connected with VPN then I have no more access to all sites in internet. I have no idea which information I can post here that you are able to help me. Please ask for any information you need.

Regards
Rene

SOLVED

It was a wrong configuration in my local DNS

Just a warning. If you use OpenVPN via NetworkManager then you will be leaking DNS. If you run openvpn manually via:

sudo openvpn --config pfsense.ovpn

then it will use only the VPN DNS.
