Hybrid VPN Setup doesn't work if the "block-outside-dns" is used...

I will try tonight;

but I'd rather only my VPN devices use the VPN DNS

also wouldn't the DNS queries be sent in the clear rather than through the VPN? I guess only testing will show this.

The "block-outside-dns" line seemed to stop the router even attempting a connection, the log window had no data to show. 

But I will test as you ask.

Unfortunately using my VPN DNS in the DHCP options stops all (non-VPN) devices using the internet, as it doesn't seem to work.

I'm guessing that my VPNs DNS isn't available publicly?

The "block-outside-dns" in the cfg still stops the HybridVPN from even trying a connection. (the log stays blank and states disconnected)

I have not tested though that DNS queries are happening outside of the VPN for mapped devices, I just assumed. 

I'll have to figure out a test.

EDIT: I made a silly mistake, got the gateway and DNS muddled.  The VPN is using googles 8.8.8.8 (but piped through the VPN on desktop using openVPN is fine) so I can't really test what the DNS traffic is doing through the router, would it query through the VPN or directly in the clear?

cheers for help..

I did a DNS Leak Test is showed my ISP DNS server on the VPN device... 

So the hybridVPN cannot stop a DNS Leak as I have it currently configured.

EDIT: I changed the DNS on the device its self to 8.8.8.8 and the leak test said I failed but it showed the wrong ip and country, I also tried cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 and I also got a similar result.

So maybe changing the routers DHCP to offer up 8.8.8.8 could automate this.  

This isn't my perfect solution but is still very good vs nothing at all, could a DNS block tool be added as a feature for the HybridVPN 🙂

Thanks for help so far

ok, a small problem. I can't set the DNS in the DHCP options this seems to be fixed pointing to the router.. Although I can change the router to use 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1 it will of course make this request in the clear via the modem directly not through the VPN.. 

To stop DNS Leak more easily:

1. The need to set the DNS for the client via the DHCP server on the router (would be handy)

2. block DNS for VPN clients (as a safety option)

Also as a feature creep could you intercept DNS and use DNS over HTTPS in the future 🙂
