Using only Vpn provider dns - no web access but Terminal give ok
-
Hi so after 2.5 days of trying.. i'm still not able to setup the Dns section of a client to connect to a vpn provider. The I only want to used the dns comming from the vpn provider. Currently, from a live cd linux dhcp, in terminal: i can ping a site, trace, do a curl ifconfig.co and do get the ip of the vpn. But nothing from a webbrowser and no web page load.
Pf2.5 Fresh install : the hostname is set and : overide DNS is uncheck / no dns is written in primary/secondary. the rfc1918 private netwk and bogon: uncheck
In system/general setup : use remote Dns servers
in system/advanced/misc : Skip rule when gatewy is down: check
Setting up the Ovpn client, this connect fine and can traceroute from that.
I put: Don't add/remove route setting is check.
Add /assign a new interface for the ovpnclient (vpnExt)
In Firewall/rules/Lan : ipv4 - i just add the gateway of the vpn (vpnext)and on the nat outbound. Many guide differ, Surfshark, Express, Nord.. End with this one look bit better :
https://support.strongvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038592794-pfSense-OpenVPN-Setup-TutorialIn the resolver, as default setting or putting check at both : Prefetch option (in advance resolver option) and Harden Dnssec : uncheck
and with or without the Dnssec on or with or not the enable Ssl/Tls service. In the browser i see in the status bar : performing tls handshake.. but nothing else and no page loaded. I try to put access list in the dns resolver, but nothing more too.Still able to ping/trace/ curl and do see the ip and info passing from the vpn. But nothing in a webbrowser.
Thanks for any hint on that.
