Hello there,
This post is related to this How-to: https://www.howtogeek.com/64433/how-to-install-and-configure-openvpn-on-your-dd-wrt-router/
Does anybody know which iptables rule(s), if any, I need to add/remove in order to allow my OpenVPN clients to use my LAN's local DNS server as well?
Some key info:
-DD-WRT v24-sp2 (12/20/11) vpn-small (SVN revision 18024)
-Router: Linksys WRT160Nv3
-LAN: 192.168.7.0
-Local-Gateway / Local-DNS : 192.168.7.1
-OpenVPN-LAN: 192.168.77.0
-"No DNS Rebind" option is Disabled
-Redirect Gateway is enabled, so that all traffic is routed through the VPN.
-I did add push "dhcp-option DNS 192.168.7.1" on the OpenVPN server.
-Local DNS works fine on LAN
-I can ping from LAN to OpenVPN-LAN and viceversa. Yes, ping to local-DNS (192.168.7.1) also works.
I'm currently able to access the Internet over the VPN, but only if I either use an external (public) DNS or use plane IP addresses (no DNS at all). That is, the VPN clients fail to resolve with the local DNS. I suspect either dns requests or dns replies are being dropped by iptables (?)
Can anybody shed some light?
Thanks in advance!
