So, I tried to reproduce this on Linux, opened a new GH issue (840), and after discussion with Lev came to the conclusion that this is the same problem after all - #839 talks on "upon interface reconnection", but both for Lev's tests on Windows and for my tests on Linux with --dns-updown, it did not work on the initial connect either (o->dhcp_options.servers is NULL, so "nothing is attempted").
With the patch it works. Added a test to my extended t_client set to ensure we will not break this again... As requested, I have reworded the commit message slightly. Some unrelated words escaped :-) Your patch has been applied to the master branch. commit 3cc7a9eb2666722889d1c9ce739bb0bdaa23b308 Author: Lev Stipakov Date: Fri Sep 12 15:22:35 2025 +0200 Preserve --dhcp-option values from local config Signed-off-by: Lev Stipakov <l...@openvpn.net> Acked-by: Frank Lichtenheld <fr...@lichtenheld.com> Message-Id: <20250912132235.44304-1-fr...@lichtenheld.com> URL: https://www.mail-archive.com/openvpn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg32879.html URL: https://gerrit.openvpn.net/c/openvpn/+/1181 Signed-off-by: Gert Doering <g...@greenie.muc.de> -- kind regards, Gert Doering _______________________________________________ Openvpn-devel mailing list Openvpn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-devel
