I've got a simple OpenVPN setup that allows me to connect to my home
network while traveling. I am using the redirect-gateway option to
route all non-local traffic over the VPN when connected, but I haven't
yet been able to figure out how to ensure that all DNS queries use the
VPN nameserver.
I am specifying the DNS server with "push dhcp-option DNS 172.31.249.1",
but it only seems to affect the nameserver that my laptop uses for
reverse DNS lookups on that particular subnet. When I connect from my
laptop (using NetworkManager-openvpn), I see this in the log:
Jun 18 15:37:17 p5520.penurio.us dnsmasq[1501]: setting upstream
servers from DBus

172.31.250.254#53 for domain 254.250.31.172.in-addr.arpa
How can I make the client send all DNS queries to the VPN DNS server?
Thanks!
