      Hello,

      I have config of openvpn like:

      dev ovpns10
      verb 1
      dev-type tun
      dev-node /dev/tun10
      writepid /var/run/openvpn_server10.pid
      #user nobody
      #group nobody
      script-security 3
      daemon
      keepalive 10 60
      ping-timer-rem
      persist-tun
      persist-key
      proto udp4
      cipher AES-256-CBC
      auth SHA1
      up /usr/local/sbin/ovpn-linkup
      down /usr/local/sbin/ovpn-linkdown
      local WANIP
      engine rdrand
      tls-server
      server 10.94.0.0 255.255.255.0
      client-config-dir /var/etc/openvpn-csc/server10
      tls-verify "/usr/local/sbin/ovpn_auth_verify tls 'MyVPN' 1"
      lport 1197
      management /var/etc/openvpn/server10.sock unix
      push "dhcp-option DOMAIN ad.mydomain.com"
      push "dhcp-option DNS 10.1.0.3"
      ca /var/etc/openvpn/server10.ca
      cert /var/etc/openvpn/server10.cert
      key /var/etc/openvpn/server10.key
      dh /etc/dh-parameters.2048
      tls-auth /var/etc/openvpn/server10.tls-auth 0
      ncp-ciphers AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:AES-128-CBC:AES-192-CBC:AES-256-CBC
      compress lz4-v2
      topology subnet
      fast-io
      push "route 10.1.0.3 255.255.255.255 10.94.0.1 900"
      

      It's suppose to be "service" vpn which gives connection only to AD server for purpose like changing passwords etc.
      For this it needs to resolve dc1.ad.mydomain.com to local address (10.1.0.3).

      And for "internet" connection I don't want computers to use this internal dns, as I have some domain overriden to LAN addresses which are blocked by default eg: projects.mydomain.com suppose to be resolved by external DNS not internal 10.1.0.3 as it would return address which is not available from service vpn.

      Routes looks like this:

      I think I need somehow to change this 3 lines:

      10.94.0.0    255.255.255.0         On-link         10.94.0.9    291
      10.94.0.9  255.255.255.255         On-link         10.94.0.9    291
      10.94.0.255  255.255.255.255         On-link         10.94.0.9    291
      

      to metric 900, so it would be higher than WiFi connection.

        Why don't you simply access the server by using its IP address?

          IMO it's impossible to tell active directory domain member to not look for dns record of domain name.
