How to manage the DNS Leak in openvpn?

[pmueller (Peter Müller)]

Hi,

@fstarter

what is the possibility to stop openvpn from leaking the DNS outside of the ipfire?

OpenVPN has nothing to do with DNS resolution here, as the latter are handled by a different software and are usually not transmitted through an OpenVPN tunnel.

In case you are trying to do something like connecting a branch office to a company’s headquarter, and want internal DNS namespace to be resolved by an internal nameserver, please refer to the documentation on how to do so.

In case you are trying connect IPFire to a VPN provider, please do not do so for reasons mentioned here.

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller
