    Configuring VPNDirector to forward to Pi-hole DNS

    Yep :/ Yeah, I understood that, but given the ordering bug that exists with DNS strict mode, do I have any other way to make 10.8.0.1 be first *besides* doing what I did? (which was to remove every other DNS server, making it first as a result) It doesn't appear to be, but it is a little...

    Configuring VPNDirector to forward to Pi-hole DNS

    I had a hunch, so I just set both of my router's DNS servers to blank so that my /tmp/resolv.dnsmasq # cat /tmp/resolv.dnsmasq server=10.8.0.1 Now my router uses this DNS server exclusively, successfully, will still allowing my LAN to access 10.8.0.1! When the DNS server ordering bug is...

    Configuring VPNDirector to forward to Pi-hole DNS

    Hmmm I already have that on (you can see it on the screenshot of the OpenVPN client config page in my first post). I can access the services on the VM, but only until I set it as my router's DNS server, then I lose access, like I described in my earlier post. What could be causing that? True...

    Configuring VPNDirector to forward to Pi-hole DNS

    Hey again! Ah yes, I don't think I'm doing that. Actually, that would be nice to have back again. Sshing directly from my computer rather than going through the Google cloud console web UI was quite convenient. Would would I need to do to get that going? Indeed, my VM's OpenVPN config file...

    Configuring VPNDirector to forward to Pi-hole DNS

    Soooo it looks like I can ping my VM, make DNS queries against it, access its web interface and all that, but only if I don't use it as a DNS server on my router (e.g. using my ISP's DNS instead with "Connect to DNS Server automatically: yes"). When this works, I have: Accept DNS...

    Configuring VPNDirector to forward to Pi-hole DNS

    Reading your messages now, and I notice that my vpn client magically reconnected itself, (Connected (Local: 10.8.0.2 - Public: <my pi's external IP>) and I can connect to it. I literally didn't change anything, Idk what might have happened. I'll use this opportunity to learn more about how the...

    Configuring VPNDirector to forward to Pi-hole DNS

    Hey guys, thanks for your responses. I'm working through them, although almost all the concepts and acronyms here are flying right over my head. I'm reading up more, and I'll let you know when I have question. I was confused by this. Clearly my Router knows enough about how to route these...

    Configuring VPNDirector to forward to Pi-hole DNS

    I committed the cardinal sin of updating my RT-AC68U's firmware (to 386.4) without backing up the configuration. (I do have a backup, but it's a few months old, and I'd rather just roll-forward with a fix than roll-back.) I only noticed and learned about the VPN Director after seeing my...
