OpenVPN DNS Server for Certain Geo-blocked devices
-
Hello,
I have a PFSense+ box running the latest release. What I'm trying to do is have a couple devices always access my UK ExpressVPN tunnel for everything. This works and when I check what my public IP is, it says "London, England". However, when I go to BBC iPlayer it says that I'm outside the UK. If I use the same VPN server, but instead use the ExpressVPN app on my computer, it works.
The difference seems to be that my laptop uses the ExpressVPN VPN-supplied DNS server when connected but the LAN devices that are being routed out the site-to-site VPN do not. They use DNS Resolver, which goes to the root servers. I'd like all my devices on the LAN to use DNS Resolver as is, but somehow forward DNS Queries from the 2 devices that need UK access to the DNS servers provided by the OpenVPN connection to ExpressVPN. any ideas? Thanks so much.
