Split DNS issue
Posted: Tue Jun 26, 2018 11:54 am
Hi,
I haven't used my OpenVPN server in a bit as it's only for working remotely, but I recently replaced my mobo/processor for my desktop - which changed my IP (new MAC), and at the same time swapped out the laptop I was using to VPN in.
I've also updated pfSense to the latest version 2.4.3 and the same with Viscosity (non-beta).
I've followed tutorials and instructions and read through a million threads and haven't found a solution.
Basically, I am able to connect to the OpenVPN server, but the split DNS is not pulling back the "dns servers" (they aren't named). One is my LAN interface and the other is Google WiFi which the entire house feeds through to ensure that wireless can see wired. Something has changed, and I don't know what to do...
I can RDP to my desktop from the laptop on the same WiFi network, but not through an OpenVPN on an external network (mobile hotspot), and I get errors about Split DNS being used without any DNS domains being present. If I switch to full, it still doesn't work.
I'm at a loss and this is just a step above my pay grade. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
