*/https://gerrit.openvpn.net/q/topic:%22dns+option%22
<https://gerrit.openvpn.net/q/topic:%22dns+option%22>//As agreed
d12fk has been addressing things in the PR and handling comments there.
//The new --dns directive allows more functionality and to resolve
ambiguity in current dhcp-option dns handling, which is different
per client and OS.
//OpenVPN2 on unix-like systems does not have built-in DNS handling.
On these you tend to have to add --up and --down script handling for
DNS. Not ideal.
//We want to deliver a DNS script that is enabled by default so
OpenVPN2 on unix-like systems can 'just do DNS' out of the box.
//But we also don't want to break situations where people have
already implemented --up and --down script handling.
//The proposed behavior is;
//- by default dns-script is delivered with openvpn2 on Linux and
enabled by default
//- it is not used when --up script is set in openvpn config file -
that will function as before
//- it is not used when at runtime --dns-script disable is set
//- it is not used when at compile time --disable-dns-script is set
//The PRs for improving DNS implementation using NRPT on Windows and
solving a WMIC related problem have already been merged./
As always you're welcome to join at #openvpn-meeting on Libera IRC
network every Wednesday at 14:00 Central European Time.
Kind regards,
Johan Draaisma
