Openvpn windows 7 dns push

I'm using OpenVPN 2. I have have tried adding push "dhcp-option DNS Without VPN on the same network - both clients work properly. What's additional step required? I prefer to make changes on server side and not the client side.

Without looking at your config and client logs it's very hard to say what is happening. But even so, this is better suited for the openvpn forum or the openvpn-users list, as this is a setup question and not a code bug. Powered by Trac 1.

Could you give more information, most importantly the OS in question?

As for why I need to use my own DNS server, I have experienced that when I use public DNS as above, the clients in Iran where millions of sites are blocked can not get any page through their openvpn connection, despite the fact that they can connect to the openvpn server.

Hence the effort. Thanks — hbp. Have you confirmed that they can get a webpage via IP address once they are connected? This would just make sure it really is DNS problem and not a routing issue. Its very common when setting up OpenVPN to be able to connect to the server but not get any traffic back due to a missing return route. It turns out that if you are trying to connect from a non-Windows client, you need to do a couple of extra steps: On Linux Put this line on your client configuration client.

In the official OpenVPN documentation you can find: [ What I suggest is a completely different approach. You can do this with: --client-config-dir dir Specify a directory dir for custom client config files.

After a connecting client has been authenticated, OpenVPN will look in this directory for a file having the same name as the client's X common name. If a matching file exists, it will be opened and parsed for client-specific configuration options. Note that the configuration files must be readable by the OpenVPN process after it has dropped it's root privileges. This file can specify a fixed IP address for a given client using --ifconfig-push, as well as fixed subnets owned by the client using --iroute.

One of the useful properties of this option is that it allows client configuration files to be conveniently created, edited, or removed while the server is live, without needing to restart the server.

The following options are legal in a client-specific context: --push, --push-reset, --iroute, --ifconfig-push, and --config.

This way it's not required to remove anything from server configs, but to simply edit the IPv4 properties of the Windows machine's TAP adapters. Dimi: actually that solution is much more limited than you make it appear.

In short, your workaround works only iff there is but a single VPN connection always established through the same TAP adapter. My problem wasn't exactly the same, but the symptoms were similar enough for this question to appear in search results, so in case anyone else winds up here for the same reason: I'm using Tunnelblick , an OpenVPN GUI for Mac OS.
