OpenVPN: Windows clients use option dns server as their default dns
-
Hi,
I got a problem with windows clients connecting via OpenVPN.
As long as I provide them with pfsense's dns server (forwarder), they use it as their default dns server. It doesn't matter whether I set a default domain or not.The reason I don't want this to happen is that I'm overriding the hostname/address of a particular host in the lan in the dns forwarder. This should only take effect for local clients but not remote clients.
Is there any way I can solve this remotely via some switches in the openvpn server config?
Thank you very much!

That's how it's supposed to work. Default domain has nothing to do with that. OpenVPN can't control that. That's a Windows question (you can muck with the binding order but it gets to be a real PITA with any type of VPN on Windows).

Thank you!
So I have to set up bind somewhere, or does tinydns allow different settings per network too?

tinydns doesn't allow that AFAIK, believe you'll need BIND.
