preventing dns leaks
Posted: Sat Apr 04, 2020 6:00 am
I have noticed that vpn connections using the softether vpn client manager to the softether vpn server are experiencing dns leaks. These are the dns servers with no vpn connection:
And these are the dns servers when connected to the softether vpn server using the softether vpn client manager:
I have tried several different configurations to prevent the dns leaks from occurring, but the only method I have been able to get to do this is by including the "block-outside-dns" configuration In the openvpn config file that the softether vpn server manager generates. However, I wanted to see if there was a way to either configure the softether vpn client manager to route all traffic, like dns, through the vpn tunnel, or configure the softether vpn server to force all devices which connect to it to route all their traffic, including dns requests, through the vpn server in order to prevent the dns leaks.
