--redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dns
(this only works on windows, because our code does not know how to query the
currently-active DNS servers on other platforms)

Thanks but won't this make all DNS requests go outside the VPN? What about
this?
dhcp-option DNS 192.168.25.1
dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8
Would this use the VPN (i.e. 192.168.25.1) but if it failed would it use
8.8.8.8?
