Hi.
Trying to configure Private Internet Access VPN on OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r20629-01e2184c49 / LuCI Master git-22.245.77360-10bcb22.
Using PIAs instructions got me a new IP address and 3 DNS servers, 2 of which were Cloudflare's and 1 of PIA's. (I have 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 as LAN custom DNS servers.) I've made changes to my network and firewall settings based on suggestions I've seen here and elsewhere, but nothing results in a new IP address plus just one DNS server with an address almost identical to the VPN IP. (Which I get on my Android TV devices and while using an Asus/Merlin router.)
Can you suggest a fix for the DNS leak?
Thanks in advance.
rubenkku had the answer! I had read it before but the name of the file he said to replace has changed enough that I missed it. After backing up my config I tried the change and it worked.
Here is rubenkku's reponse to another having dns leaks:
Hi, you are wrong removing the file /resolv.conf.auto
You need to edit the text on this file: /etc/config/dhcp
You will see a text line: option resolvfile ‘/tmp/resolv.conf.auto’
Delete this line and then write:
option noresolv '1’
list server '8.8.8.8’
list server ‘8.8.4.4’
Save changes, reboot router, check dns leaks, enjoy
Here are my edits:
Go to: /etc/config/dhcp
Find the text line: option resolvfile ‘/tmp/resolv.conf.d/resolv.conf.auto’
Delete it and write:
option noresolv '1’
list server '8.8.8.8’
list server ‘8.8.4.4’
(Rather than 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 I used the addresses of my VPN supplier's DNS servers)
Save changes, reboot router, check for dns leaks, enjoy.
Thanks, rubenkku. U rock.
Started having DNS leaks again. Will be trying another suggestion shortly and will post the result.
