I have problems using my VPN (Virtual Private Network)

Some VPNs may not work well with the BT Web Address Help service. If you're experiencing problems with your VPN you should disconnect from the VPN and then opt out of the BT Web Address Help service in Preferences. You'll only need to opt out once.

I'm using openVPN as my client on Windows, not using the built in Windows functionality.

Try it, you'll be able to tick the remote gateway option then.

It takes seconds to set up a connection as it's all automatic other than needing WAN IP, username and password.


it won't have the certificates.

I've got no issues with my setup and having everything tunnelled through and I use BT Openzone daily at work. One obvious differential is I use port 443 as the listening port at my server end for VPN traffic and DNS requests go through my VPN to my pihole at home.

I'm on an entirely Linux network though so can't contribute much to Windows setup.

maybe try set the push dns option in the server config

push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8"

or whatever you want to use.

If you are saying that everything is pingable/reachable by IP still sounds like a DNS issue to me.

I think it's the only thing that could cause an issue. Openzone probably blocks requests to DNS servers outside of its control and therefore you need to tunnel those requests to a DNS through your VPN?

sorry guys, was away at the weekend. Thanks for your input so far.

I do get the page not found error from BBC when going to the page by IP.

My prefered DNS servers are pushed from the server. Just to be sure I've overridden the DNS in Windows and Linux Mint, but to no avail.
When doing an nslookup I get a return and the DNS server that I expect is being used.

Can you set an DNS such as 208.67.220.220 in IP4 for the local area connection you photographed earlier? You know, the one with no default gateway, that you screenshotted from a command prompt.

I have a customer who has a few dial in VPN accounts. Since the VOIP supplier switched the broadband to their ISP, I've no longer been able to get DNS to work through the VPN connections. I have to map drives to a fixed IP address, instead of PC/Server name.


That is what it is currently set as. Confused

correct.

Have set the DNS using the network manager in Linux Mint as well, however it didn't seem to be switching to the google DNS.

Can you post your client / server config minus the certs and answer the following

1. Does this vpn connection currently (like as in now) work as expected from other networks like starbucks for instance?
2. When/if it does work on another network are you tunnelling, ie if you visist whatismyip or similar do you see your home wan ip listed?
3. Did you see/complete a captive landing page when connecting to the bt openzone network?

It appeared to work as expected, although from my phone, when I connected to hotspots in sri lanka. Was always able to access my home network, although I never explicitly checked what my external IP was.

Using the mobile network, I can connect to the VPN and my external IP is as if I was at home. Will try a UK based hotspot next time I walk past a pret/starbucks.

I dont remember going through a landing page, however it's an open hotspot. I am assuming it is using a BT cookie from BT sport etc to authorise me as being able to use the BT hotspot.

Code:

#/etc/openvpn/server.conf

local 192.168.1.3

dev tun

proto udp

port 1194

server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0

# server and remote endpoints
ifconfig 10.8.0.1 10.8.0.2

# Add route to Client routing table for the OpenVPN Server
push "route 10.8.0.1 255.255.255.255"

# Add route to Client routing table for the OpenVPN Subnet
push "route 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0"

# your local subnet
push "route 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.255"

#push "dhcp-option DNS 192.168.1.254"   
push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8"

# Override the Client default gateway by using 0.0.0.0/1 and
# 128.0.0.0/1 rather than 0.0.0.0/0. This has the benefit of
# overriding but not wiping out the original default gateway.
push "redirect-gateway def1"

push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.4.4"
keepalive 10 120

I don't have any BT accounts or I could test it on port 1194 for you, I just tried connecting to one and it popped up with the captive portal asking me to sign in.

Maybe you could try like NeverAgain said and change the ports to 443, however you might already have something assigned to this. You'd need to reconfigure your forwarding too.

The DNS is still trying to go through Google's servers in this instance. Have you tried setting up a DNS within your home network so the DNS requests cannot be blocked by BT.

BT block external DNS servers on their home service to manage parental internet filters. I imagine the same system is used in their hotspots to prevent looking at porn in public?

I've got a script to bypass the openzone landing page so perhaps you've done the same as me?
