<![CDATA[DNS Resolver doesn't work in VPN]]>I have configured DNS Resolver to associate a URL like crm.my-host.local to the IP address of the server in the DMZ.
If I use this URL on a PC in the office it works.
On the other hand, if I use this URL on a PC connected with OpenVPN, then I can't find the page.
The VPN is working fine and the IP is reachable with a ping.
If I the IP of the server, the page can reach it.
Where am I doing wrong?

I don't understand what I should do.
The VPN works and I can access the servers in the DMZ using their IP address.
The IP 10.101.101.0 is that of the VPN.
My PC IP is 10.101.101.2

Do your openvpn rules allow for it?

Simple test do a directed dns query towards pfsense IP you set for dns in the vpn client. Do you get an answer.. Use your fav tool, nslookup, dig, host, etc.

And yes your unbound acls have to allow for the vpn tunnel network to do queries.

I put 10.101.101.0/24, but it is always unreachable.
