ANSWERED Web Browsing broken, VOIP works fine?

[manypopes 1]

I've bought three days of AirVPN to test it out. I run Arch Linux and am using openvpn. After enabling the VPN, programs like Skype and Mumble work fine however my web browser will not load anything, "ping airvpn.org" returns "unknown host". Would it be safe to say that it's http traffic that isn't working?

 

I am on a University connection but I don't believe that should make a difference.

 

Does anyone know what might be causing this? How could I fix it?

Hello,

 

it looks like a DNS issue. Please make sure that one of your nameservers (the first one) is 10.4.0.1 (VPN DNS IP address) - check /etc/resolv.conf. If your system queries a non-public DNS, the queries might be dropped if they come from an unknown network. Alternatively accept DNS push from our servers according to our guide https://airvpn.org/topic/9608-how-to-accept-dns-push-on-linux-systems-with-resolvconf, it's the most elegant solution (it requires resolvconf or openresolv).

 

Kind regards
