iphone and DNS lookup within VPN

maygyver
Hi,

I am using Astaro 7.4 with Apple Iphone an the VPN tunnel is up an running.

But no DNS is possible. Surfin by IP works. How do I setup DNS with AStaro for the iphone?

Thanks May

    I use the L2TP over IPSec VPN in my iPhone.  At the bottom of the setup, you can choose if you want a split tunnel or if you want to send all traffic down the tunnel.  Since there's no such thing as a fixed IP with the iPhone, I don't use a split tunnel with it because I need my clients' Astaros to think I'm approaching them from the IP of my office.

    In 'Network >> DNS'* on the 'Forwarders' tab, you need the host of your internal DNS or the DNS servers belonging to your ISP.

    Cheers - Bob

    I was pretty sure it had to be an iPhone issue.  It turns out that the standard for "Bonjour" conflicts with a common practice with Active Directory:
    iPhone VPN DNS resolution issue | Utternerd.org
    Apple has an "Exception List" for every interface. Within this list, by default are 2 entries, "169.254/16" and "*.local". Bingo, THAT's why all *.local requests timed out and never hit a single dns server...

    Cheers - Bob
    PS Maygyver, you even warned about this back in January [;)] https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/51/p/20344/49483#49483
