 Posted: Fri Jan 18, 2008 1:09 am Post subject: [Solved] OpenVPN + Shorewall, can't lookup hostname |
 |
|
| Code: | BoxA BoxB (with Shorewall)
+------------------+ +----------------------+
| tun0: 10.8.0.6 |........| tun0: 10.8.0.1 |
+------------------+ | eth0: 64.203.11.43 |------- Internet
+----------------------+ |
I can ping 74.125.19.103 (i.e. "www.google.com") from BoxA. But "ping www.google.com" always times out. I think BoxA doesn't know where where the DNS server is.
When I added the following in BoxA's "/etc/resolv.conf" (I stole it from BoxB's "/etc/resolv.conf" file), BoxA can resolve all host names.
| Code: | /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 207.69.188.185 |
So, the question is, what do I need to do to make it automatic, so that I don't have to manually edit BoxA's "/etc/resolv.conf" file? It would be great if it auto-magically gets updated when BoxA's tun0 is up. Any suggestions?

This was a problem where BoxA was behind a firewall that blocked pretty much everything, except HTTP and HTTPS via a proxy server. Now BoxA is in a more relaxed environment, so it no longer has a problem looking up host names.
