Our Linux Ubuntu configuration does have a DNS server (Bind 9).
And resolv.conf
has its
nameserver 127.0.0.1
When using openvpn
client on that Linux, the nameserver is not changed (by the VPN server) but I would like to set it – only during the VPN session – to another specific DNS server x.y.z.t
, by changing the openvpn client config.
Then, when the openvpn
session ends, nameserver should be back to 127.0.0.1
.
Is there a "clean" way (ie a line in the openvpn client config file) to do that?
(Note: The VPN server config cannot be changed)

After more googling, could find the answer - below if it can help someone.
resolv.conf
config file/usr/share/openvpn
, namedupdate-resolv-conf
. The script determines what should be the newresolv.conf
, and how to restore it (see link below)these lines
in the openvpn client config file.
