DNS Problem on Linux

[hugomueller 13]

I am running a Linux server which should connect via airvpn to the internet. I am using the server Kitalpha.

While in VPN there is no DNS resolution possible. Outside VPN it works just fine. A ping to 8.8.8.8 works finde but a ping to google.de can not resolve the hostname.

The VPN log says

PUSH: Received control message: 'PUSH_REPLY,redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp,dhcp-option DNS 10.4.0.1,comp-lzo no,route-gateway 10.4.0.1,topology subnet,ping 10,ping-restart 60,ifconfig 10.4.2.176 255.255.0.0'

Hello,

 

can you reach 10.4.0.1 in the VPN?

 

Are you running OpenVPN directly in your server? If so have a look here:

If resolvconf is not a viable option for you, just take care about the DNS yourself, in /etc/resolv.conf

 

By the way, OpenVPN logs are essential to try to understand the source of the problem, feel free to post them.

 

Kind regards
