I did not mean the company behind the OpenVPN.
What I meant is a list of DNS servers that can be announced by openvpn
server one's connecting to. I.e. that particular list that can be
processed on a client by /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf .

The limitation of update-resolv-conf in its current (as of bullseye)
form is that it does nothing to the list of the resolvers that are
configured already before the openvpn handshake. Which could lead to DNS
leaks, which are considered a bad thing by some.

Back in the day I solved that problem by using a custom dnsmasq config
and a handful of netfilter rules, these days I just use network namespaces.
