DNS resolver not working for openvpn
-
Hello
I have activate in the DNS resolverDHCP Registration and Static DHCP
=> So I can use a ssh with the hostname instead of the IP adress.It works in my LAN but does not works when my laptop is connect to the LAN with a OpenVPN tunnel.
(The ssh with I adress works)Any Idee what I miss to allow the DNS working in the OpenVpn networks?

When you set up a OpenVPN tunnel network like this :
then the VPN server (pfSense) will be 192.168.3.1
An OpenVPN client will get an IP like 192.168.3.x - Take note that it is the OpenVPN server that will give the OpenVPN client an IP, and isn't DHCP server related.
Set up your OpenVPN DNS filed like this :
so now the OpenVPN knows where it can get DNS questions answered.
Nearly done now.
You have to tell the resolver that it should also listen to this 192.168.3.0/24 network.
By default, this is the case :

DHCP Registration and Static DHCP
Static DHCP is great.
I strongly advise to get a static lease for all your important devices : the ones you have to connect to.
When done, do the thing that has been discussed on this forum for the last 10 years and so, using a zillion words over hundreds of forum threads : shut down :
You'll thank me later ^^

Thanks for help

Where is it specify that pfsense wil get the 1rst IP ?
I also did not specify a default domain name to client...
Ok I remove also the DHCP registration box ...
I have static IP and also DHCP "fixed IP" with mac adress check.
It should be consider as static IP ;-)But I still get it not working....
Maybe is it because, even if I have a resolver that did listen on "All" network interface, I did not have a "VPNS" interface in the list? -
My OpenVpn Interface that receive the connection is WAN ...

Wait. First things first. Your talking about the pfSense OpenVPN server, right ?
-
@Gertjan Not sure to understand your question?
I have added in the DNS configuration the IP 192.168.3.1 in the OpenVpn configuration
(and I was wondering how to know that it was 1 and not 254 or other by curiosity) -
And Yes mi OpenVPN is an app running on my Pfsense
