      I've been reading so long that my eyes hurt and still don't feel like I'm any closer to getting DNS over OpenVPN to work. I can connect to the VPN and I can ping devices on the other side of the VPN, but I can't for the life of me get DNS to work.

      For example, there is a Synology on the other side of the VPN. I can ping 172.18.0.3, but can't ping it by DNS name of diskstationhbe.

      IPv4 Tunnel Network: 172.17.0.0/24
      IPv4 Local Network: 172.18.0.0/24
      DNS Server Enable: Checked
      DNS Server 1: 172.18.0.1

      When connected I'm getting the following:

      IPv4 Address: 172.17.0.2
      DNS Server: 172.18.0.1

      I tried adding a DNS Access list for OpenVPN, but that didn't seem to work.

      Action: Allow
      Networks: 172.17.0.0/24

      Please bear with me on this because I'm not the best when it comes to DNS.

        This is only a host name. Consider to use FQDNs to access the remote site.
