No local DNS when connected to SSL VPN

From my Android phone using openvpn and the ovpn config from my Sophos box, I can connect to my network.

I can get to my servers from using their IP, but I cannot get hostnames to resolve.

In System > Administration I have DNS turned on for VPN

10.0.0.1 is my sophos box and also how my LAN uses for gateway.

Sophos is my DHCP server.

I have a DNS server on 10.0.0.4 that is a raspberry pi running pi-hole.  It is configured to pass local name resolution to the sophos box.

My VPN Settings:




Any idea what I am doing wrong?

  • The configuration is correct, and you should be able to access it.

    Since you mentioned that you’re accessing it through your phone, can you also try connecting to the VPN using a PC if you experience the same issue? Since in a PC, you can issue a nslookup and confirm if the DNS server will respond to you

    You can also try creating a firewall rule with source LAN to destination VPN just to be sure.
