Linux client seems to take notice of what server pushes,
namely DNS server & domains but, really nothing comes out of it.
It cannot be some limitation of Linuxes - I'm on latest
Fedora - I must be missing something and what that might be,
if you care to suggest, I'll appreciate.
many thanks, L.
On Linux, OpenVPN does not modify the DNS servers itself (unlike Windows).
There's two ways to make it happen
- use Network Manager to run OpenVPN - it will parse the server reply,
and set up DNS accordingly
- add an "up $script" to your client config to do the DNS setup -
we ship a sample script ("pull-resolv-conf") to do that, but I'm
not sure if Fedora integrates that, or uses something else - ask
rpm what is in the openvpn package.

Thanks for that.
I've never thought of NM as better alternative than opvn
itself, it seems to work however I wonder if NM (at least in
Fedora) has a problem with re-uping connection after system
resumed from sleep.
