Staff 10014 Posted ... Hello! You're doing everything just fine, it's OpenDNS that's messing up the whole thing. Look at this log line: Tue Sep 3 15:05:25 2013 UDPv4 link remote: [AF_INET]67.215.66.146:443 Take note of that 67.215.66.146 IP address. It's the IP address of a server to which OpenDNS hijacks users when a domain name is non-existent (according to OpenDNS...). So, OpenVPN correctly asks for america.vpn.airdns.org resolution, your system queries OpenDNS, and OpenDNS returns its own server IP address (because it very wrongly "assumes" that *.airdns.org does not exist). This is passed back and OpenVPN tries to establish a VPN connection to an OpenDNS server (!), which obviously fails. You have two options to solve the problem: 1) get rid of OpenDNS (use for example OpenNIC http://www.opennicproject.org or any other public DNS you like), you might like not to use a DNS that hijacks you. In this case the hijack has caused you some minor trouble and waste of time, in other cases it might cause more serious troubles. OR 2) re-generate the OpenVPN configuration file(s) ticking "Advanced Mode" and "Resolved hosts in .ovpn file" in the Configuration Generator. In this way the CG will not insert names in the .ovpn file, but only IP addresses, solving the problem at its roots. Kind regards Quote Share this post Link to post
skr5e 0 Posted ... Thanks for the reply. Somehow the problem seems to have fixed itself, eventually connected to the VPN and I never got a chance to try out the solution. I'll keep it in mind in case I run into it again. Quote Share this post Link to post
