Recent builds from BS (and some from Kong) add those pushed DNS servers at the top of /tmp/resolv.dnsmasq (where the DNS servers are stored) Until recently those pushed DNS servers were ignored. Most VPN providers push their DNS servers to you (if you are using PBR this might not be the case) Thanks, will bookmark that site for future tests. The ExpVPN DNS leak test tells me I am using ExpVPN DNS servers regardless of what I have entered.ĮxpVPN is working GREAT !! That site's info makes me proud of my vpn's smoke and mirrors =D It should confirm if you are using ExpVPN DNS servers.Įdit: I should add that the servers I have entered are public DNS no-log servers not the ExpVPN DNS servers. Not sure it would work for you but you might try it?Īlso, if you have not, try the DNS leak test under tools at the bottom of the site page.
#How to use dnscrypt with nordvpn code
I still use the original code above but it is more trouble if I change DNS servers as I need to remember to change this input as well. I found no difference regardless of which code I used. Finding the change to "interface=tun1" later I talked with ExVPN support and they verified I could use either. When I first signed up the code was "dhcp-option=6,, , " replacing the x's with the DNS server addresses. I feel sure you did but thought I would mention it as it is sometimes overlooked. I don't think this will help with your question but did you add the short code at the bottom of the setup page? Part of the process is also adding the code (interface=tun1) near the bottom of this page (see link) to the Services, Dnsmasq Options. Pretty much yes, but the DNS servers aren't dynamically assigned for ExpressVPN as far as I can tell, so you can just find them that one time and put them in on the setup page.

Personally, I just use Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1) since they are privacy oriented/don't keep logs anyway and I find it to be faster. These will not change based on which server you connect to. You will be forwarded to a page about "Mediastreamer" which will give you the primary and secondary DNS servers to use. Go to My Account > DNS Settings > Configure DNS on this device The only way to find out what the DNS servers are is as follows (as far as I can tell):ĭisconnect from VPN (this is important! otherwise you cannot click the Configure DNS button) As mentioned above, you have to manually define them. I use ExpressVPN and also have this issue. I have a WRT32X running VPN, through openvpn, Ive subscribed to a vpn service (expressvpn) got everything working including Policy Based Routing, my last step is getting the dns to use the vpn's dns provided when the tunnel is created, If I do not use pbr, this function works but it breaks remote access to my router so its not a viable option at this time, does anyone know of a script that can obtain the VPN's DNS server when the connection is established and forward it to the the addresses used in PBR?
