Hello Gert,

Thank you for your help.

So my new client config will be this:

client
dev tun
proto udp
remote XXX.hopto.org 1194
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
verb 4
float
ca ca.crt
cert client1.crt
key client1.key
comp-lzo yes
tun-mtu 1500
auth SHA256
cipher AES-128-CBC
redirect-gateway def1
dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8              <---------------------- new line



I will get it a try this afternoon. It seems Windows 7 is not as good as
Windows 10 and Android. All my vpn clients have almost the same config, only
Windows 7 has this issue.

Thanks,
James

The DNS servers your client has configured do not work via the VPN tunnel.
A config that has "redirect-gateway" (= all my internet access via tunnel)
also (usually) needs to have "dhcp-option DNS 1.2.3.4"
with the DNS servers to use.

Our you configure 8.8.8.8 manually in the TCP/IP options -> extended
-> DNS settings.
