Openvpn dns leakeage

I'm relatively new to linux network configuration but I have configured a VPN server on a personal computer running in a trusted network and a VPN client in other personal computer that could access the internet via an untrusted network safely routing the internet traffic through VPN. The general idea, of course, is the entire internet traffic getting encrypted, so no one can intercept it via public Wi-Fi as well as send all DNS queries to go through the VPN.

For that I thoroughly researched the related Arch Linux Wiki documentation pages for installing and configuring an openvpn server and client.

Briefly speaking, I followed the steps on
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/OpenVP … the_server

adding to server.conf:

push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp ipv6"

as well as to client.conf:

push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp"

Configured Firewall on my openvpn server with

sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o wlp2s0 -j MASQUERADE

For DNS matter I followed the steps on
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/OpenVPN#DNS

using the update-systemd-resolved custom script installed and configured via
https://github.com/jonathanio/update-sy … ns-leakage

made sure that systemd-resolved is enabled and running and follow the exactly steps for NSS and nssswitch.conf as well as Stub Resolver

I, as well, added a PolicyKit as described on arch linux documentation page to allow OpenVPN systemd units to call DBus with SetLinkDNS

/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/00-openvpn-resolved.rules

polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
    if (action.id == 'org.freedesktop.resolve1.set-dns-servers' ||
        action.id == 'org.freedesktop.resolve1.set-domains' ||
        action.id == 'org.freedesktop.resolve1.set-dnssec') {
        if (subject.user == 'openvpn') {
            return polkit.Result.YES;
        }
    }
});

Unfortunatelly after all, I accessed https://dnsleaktest.com to test if I'm connect to internet through vpn and if I'm facing any DNS leakeage.
In fact, I'm succesfully connected through VPN, but unsuccesfully having DNS leakeage issues. When I run the test, the hostname and ISP listed are still from the untrusted network.

# To assign specific IP addresses to specific

# use the subdirectory "ccd" for client-specific
# configuration files (see man page for more info).

# EXAMPLE: Suppose the client
# having the certificate common name "Thelonious"
# also has a small subnet behind his connecting
# machine, such as 192.168.40.128/255.255.255.248.
# First, uncomment out these lines:
;client-config-dir ccd
;route 192.168.40.128 255.255.255.248
# Then create a file ccd/Thelonious with this line:
#   iroute 192.168.40.128 255.255.255.248
# This will allow Thelonious' private subnet to
# access the VPN.  This example will only work
# if you are routing, not bridging, i.e. you are
# using "dev tun" and "server" directives.

# EXAMPLE: Suppose you want to give
# Thelonious a fixed VPN IP address of 10.9.0.1.
# First uncomment out these lines:
;client-config-dir ccd

# Then add this line to ccd/Thelonious:

Re: Openvpn dns leakeage

Hi & welcome to the forum,

The following needs changing in your config:
Since openvpn 2.5.0 the user/group nobody should not be used anymore. (The wiki apparently is not uptodate)

Have a look at the logging for the services. Do you see errors?

Re: Openvpn dns leakeage

Hi Strike0, thank you very much.


What services should I look?
I have looked the logs for

journalctl -u systemd-resolved.service

Apr 08 18:47:04 home-server systemd-resolved[1141]: Flushed all caches.
Apr 08 18:49:42 home-server systemd-resolved[1141]: Flushed all caches.

Apr 08 18:50:40 home-server systemd-resolved[1141]: Using degraded feature set UDP instead of UDP+EDNS0 for DNS server 143.107.45.11.

And I don't see any error...
I'm also not using the user/group nobody anymore, but no help in DNS leakeage issue..

# Downgrade privileges after initialization (non-Windows only)

Re: Openvpn dns leakeage

The services you start for the VPN on the machine where you experience the leaks, i.e. the client machine. For your setup you can also directly check which DNS is active via systemd-resolve --status
Also, have a look at this post from the issue tracker of the script you use: https://github.com/jonathanio/update-sy … -803477296

Re: Openvpn dns leakeage

HI Strike0, thanks again for the help.

I take some days to read the post you mentioned, and it was very elucidating, specially deeper in the issue mentioned by  piotr-dobrogost commented on Mar 20, 2021:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/6076

The matter is:
before running openvpn client.conf

> systemd-resolve --status             
Global
           Protocols: +LLMNR +mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
    resolv.conf mode: stub
Fallback DNS Servers: 9.9.9.9#dns.quad9.net 8.8.8.8#dns.google
                      2620:fe::9#dns.quad9.net 2001:4860:4860::8888#dns.google

Link 2 (enp2s0)
Current Scopes: none
     Protocols: -DefaultRoute +LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported

Link 3 (wlo1)
    Current Scopes: DNS LLMNR/IPv4 LLMNR/IPv6
         Protocols: +DefaultRoute +LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
Current DNS Server: 2804:214:8000:ffff::88
       DNS Servers: 192.168.43.1 2804:214:8000:ffff::88
                    fe80::a8c:2cff:fead:ff71%32682

after running openvpn client.conf, vpn starts succesfully, update-systemd-resolved script is executed and have updated systemd-resolve service as expected, creating a new link - Link 15 (tun0)

> systemd-resolve --status
Global
           Protocols: +LLMNR +mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
    resolv.conf mode: stub
Fallback DNS Servers: 9.9.9.9#dns.quad9.net 8.8.8.8#dns.google
                      2620:fe::9#dns.quad9.net 2001:4860:4860::8888#dns.google

Link 2 (enp2s0)
Current Scopes: none
     Protocols: -DefaultRoute +LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported

Link 3 (wlo1)
    Current Scopes: DNS LLMNR/IPv4 LLMNR/IPv6
         Protocols: +DefaultRoute +LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
Current DNS Server: fe80::a8c:2cff:fead:ff71%32765
       DNS Servers: 192.168.43.1 2804:214:8000:ffff::88
                    fe80::a8c:2cff:fead:ff71%32564

Link 15 (tun0)
Current Scopes: LLMNR/IPv4 LLMNR/IPv6
     Protocols: -DefaultRoute +LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
    DNS Domain: ~.

yet, as it can be seen, there is no difference for Link 3 (wl01) emphasised here:

Link 3 (wlo1)
    Current Scopes: DNS LLMNR/IPv4 LLMNR/IPv6
         Protocols: +DefaultRoute +LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
Current DNS Server: fe80::a8c:2cff:fead:ff71%32765
       DNS Servers: 192.168.43.1 2804:214:8000:ffff::88
                    fe80::a8c:2cff:fead:ff71%32564


The dns server listed is the one that seems to use the Internet Service Provider dns lookup.
As I told, I'm new to linux networking, but it seems to me that even when on vpn, openvpn is using the DNS Servers configured for Link 3 (wl01)

Researching on the issue I mentioned, I could figured out an workaround.
First option following the steps shared by snabb commented on Oct 29, 2017

snabb commented on Oct 29, 2017 wrote:

My current workaround is to do the following tricks every time I start my workplace VPN:

    Find out the link number (a.k.a. interface index) of the ISP interface: systemd-resolve --status or ip l.
    Connect the VPN.
    Remove DNS settings from the ISP interface (using the link number from step 1) by sending a D-Bus command to systemd-resolved. This is an example using link number 2: sudo busctl call org.freedesktop.resolve1 /org/freedesktop/resolve1 org.freedesktop.resolve1.Manager SetLinkDNS 'ia(iay)' 2 0
    Inspect with systemd-resolve --status to ensure that only the correct DNS servers are there.

Apparently there isn't any simple cli tool for managing systemd-resolved's settings. That busctl command isn't very user-friendly. smile

The other option would be just run the systemd-resolve command for the interface  that is connecting to the internet and configured with the wrong DNS Servers with --revert flag:

sudo systemd-resolve -i wlo1 --revert

The result is

> systemd-resolve --status             
Global
           Protocols: +LLMNR +mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
    resolv.conf mode: stub
  Current DNS Server: 9.9.9.9#dns.quad9.net
Fallback DNS Servers: 9.9.9.9#dns.quad9.net 8.8.8.8#dns.google
                      2620:fe::9#dns.quad9.net 2001:4860:4860::8888#dns.google

Link 2 (enp2s0)
Current Scopes: none
     Protocols: -DefaultRoute +LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported

Link 3 (wlo1)
Current Scopes: LLMNR/IPv4 LLMNR/IPv6
     Protocols: -DefaultRoute +LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported

Link 15 (tun0)
Current Scopes: LLMNR/IPv4 LLMNR/IPv6
     Protocols: -DefaultRoute +LLMNR -mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
    DNS Domain: ~.

and now I don't see the hostname and ISP from the untrusted network listed in https://www.dnsleaktest.com/results.html , but just Google and WoodyNet, probably due to the configuration in

Global
           Protocols: +LLMNR +mDNS -DNSOverTLS DNSSEC=no/unsupported
    resolv.conf mode: stub
  Current DNS Server: 9.9.9.9#dns.quad9.net
Fallback DNS Servers: 9.9.9.9#dns.quad9.net 8.8.8.8#dns.google
                      2620:fe::9#dns.quad9.net 2001:4860:4860::8888#dns.google

Unfurtunatelly, honestly, I'm not totally sure if that is the best workaround or the best way to solve the matter. But here it is the way I have evolved from that.

Again, thanks for the help till now, and I would definitely appreciate more considerations from the community, if there are any.

Re: Openvpn dns leakeage

Hi, great that you appear to have you found a work-around. Reading DNS leakage: If you want the client to resolve via a dns service like quad9 or google, regardless of whether it is connected to VPN or not - it should be possible to achieve that, with a simple static resolve configuration, disabling the automatism (incl systemd-resolve) you struggle with. That's basically what you achieve with your work-around now. The only thing that may break with such a static config are some public portals using redirects upon first connect.

Aside from the static client resolv.conf, change your client's vpn "dhcp-option DOMAIN-ROUTE" to "dhcp-option DNS 9.9.9.9". The client.conf should also use the "pull" option. If you want the client to use a specific dns upon vpn-connection, your vpn-server should first have specify one, e.g. 'push "dhcp-option DNS 9.9.9.9"' in the config.
Regarding leakage, check whether the route (ip route) upon connection to the vpn  shows a catch all (0.0.0.0/1 via .... dev tun0) as first route. That's my 2c.

Perhaps somebody else indeed spots something else to help you with it.

Re: Openvpn dns leakeage

To me it looks like the biggest problem is that openvpn does not set a DNS server for tun0. If there was a DNS server set for tun0, I believe the systemd-resolved configuration should work even with the non-vpn servers set to wl01.
