Open VPN client and Domain Controller

Virtual Private Networks
1

Hello the community,

I have a philosophical question
I have 2 clients on open vpn
1 is working perfectly and the other one can not see the Domain Controller but see “manually” some IP Adress, so I make a mistake somewhere.
I did look at the opvn files and see no difference

any advice, suggestions please ?

thanks in advance

I assume you are talking about the DNS server and that a client cannot resolve names. You can configure the DNS servers in 2 positions for OpenVPN.

Globally for all clients:

www.ipfire.org - Advanced server options

Or differently for each client:

www.ipfire.org - Client configuration

Advanced_client_options
Advanced_client_options960×395 37.5 KB

I would assume that you have only configured the DNS for one client and not for the other.

Per @steven 's post, follow his instructions, but also make sure that Redirect Gateway box is checked on the client in question.

That’s not correct. Redirect Gateway means that all traffic is routed through the tunnel - including traffic for the Internet, not just the intranet you want to access. If this option is not checked, only traffic for the selected networks is routed through the tunnel.
