Edition of OpenVPN server

[Jack Yaz]

Is Merlin based on standard or community? i.e. will block-outside-dns work?

Community. AFAIK, the "standard" one is a commercial product, and is therefore not open-sourced.

Using DNS mode set to "Exclusive" will ensure that clients routed through the tunnel will be forced to use the DNS provided by the server.

I was thinking for server I'm hosting myself, and pushing the option. I can see the Exclusive option you mention on the VPN Client page, but not server.

DNS management is up to the client, the server cannot control it. All it can do is push the DNS's IP, and the client decides what to do with it.
