    I installed openvpn on a vps and it is fully functional. I have no problems using it with my phone and the openvpn connect app. On my pfsense box I set up the client config and it appears that it connects with my vps openvpn server. The issue I am having is dns doesn't seem to be working. I can ping by address but not by name. I did something wrong but not sure what it is.

    Thanks

      Since you push the default route to the VPN client, also provide a DNS server and care that it is reachable.

      If you don't want to direct all traffic over the VPN, don't push the default route or check "Don't pull routes" in the client settings and add the routes manually.
