I edited the file they say with kwrite. Even after I restart openvpn,

they sent for me to check it with. It shows other IP addresses. I'm
sure I'm missing something, likely something simple, but I can't figure
out how to make it work. I don't know if it is because I'm using openrc
or what.
Anyone have a idea on how to make this work?
resolv.conf tells DNS where to look. That's not openrc/systemd specific.
There's another file - can't remember its name - that tells your
resolver what to try in what order - the hosts file, dns, what dhcp told
you, etc etc, so your resolver might not be using dns the way you think.
I can't get that to work, either. I want my hosts file to take priority,
but it's ignored.
And then, of course, to really screw you over your ISP might be
hijacking dns.
