XR1000 v1 DNS not working when VPN is enabled
I've XR1000 v1 router with the following settings: firmware: 1.0.2.86_2.1.40 IP address: 192.168.2.1 and DNS stops working as soon as I enable VPN on it (see nslookup output below). Resetting ...
To clarify: DNS queries are failing on the LAN clients, not on VPN clients (didn't test DNS on VPN clients at all).
Scenario is simple: LAN client sends DHCP request to the router and receives back an IP address, e.g. 192.168.2.123, and DNS server 192.168.2.1 (address of the router).
When VPN is off: LAN client uses 192.168.2.1 DNS server to resolve the addresses and receives DNS responses from the router.
When VPN is on: the same LAN client, sends the same DNS queries to the same 192.168.2.1 DNS server - no responses from the router.
Looks like firmware bug for me.
