Hi

I am using one of the express vpn configuration files and I have at times issues with DNS.

Ubuntu 20.04

I simply call

sudo openvpn --config xyz

and most of the times it magically works. I am not sure how, but routes and dns get set correctly. In some cases the DNS do not work, either they have not been set (so I sill use the ones from my ISP which are now unaccessible) or are set to a bad address.

How do I debug this?

I can see this line in the log

Sun May 31 21:40:47 2020 PUSH: Received control message: 'PUSH_REPLY,redirect-gateway def1,dhcp-option DNS 10.171.0.1,comp-lzo no,route 10.171.0.1,topology net30,ping 10,ping-restart 60,ifconfig 10.171.0.230 10.171.0.229,peer-id 52,cipher AES-256-GCM'

and I can ping 10.171.0.1 but nslookup does not work.


most likely you are using openvpn-systemd-resolved  for this - if so, check the script
  /etc/openvpn/update-systemd-resolved
to see how it works. The OpenVPN binary itself does not do anything with the received DNS settings - it just passes them along to a plugin or script.

HTH,
