OpenVPN with Adguard

@Jenova said in OpenVPN with Adguard:
I'm confused. Do you want me to run that host command in my server? Is adguard-ip-address what I should put or should I put the ip address of my server?
Ping? How do I do that?
Where am I putting the Google DNS? In my OpenVPN Settings page?
Sorry, I have literally no idea what I'm doing here and I'm actually kinda frustrated.
Ok, so to update, i put the Google DNS inside of OpenVPN's settings and still no connection was being made
@Jenova Let's take a step back, I feel I made too many assumptions here.
Without any of this DNS stuff, does the OpenVPN app work for you with the defaults? I assumed it does, but I want to double check this. If it does work, can you tell me
a) where is your server hosted? Intranet or public cloud ? Anything special I need to know about the network?
b) which OS and vpn client are you connecting from ? This is important to debug further because all the commands I am giving you are for linux desktop.

I assume Intranet. Its a VPS with HostWorld. I have no idea if there is anything you need to know about the network.
The OS on my VPS is ubuntu-20.04-x86_64 and im using Windows 11 (Insider Edition, if that makes a difference).

@Jenova thanks.
With the default OpenVPN app settings, please connect from Windows. After connecting, can you please check what it says the DNS server is? https://askleo.com/find-dns-server-used-pc/ says if you run
ipconfig /all, it will display the DNS servers. Can you post what that command returns?Also, I am not a Windows expert. TBH, I haven't even used Windows in many years, but I will try my best and let's see how far we get

So, the above line tells us that it got the internal DNS server correctly. So, far so good!
Next step: Disconnect from VPN. Then, go to the OpenVPN settings and put '8.8.8.8' as the DNS server. (https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/openvpn/#custom-dns-server) . Now, connect again.
Are you able to connect to VPN or is it that you are able to connect to VPN but unable to connect to any website? If you run
ipconfig /allagain now like before, what is the output ? (I am expecting the DNS Severs to be 8.8.8.8). -

Ah nice, it does get the configuration correctly!
Its funny cuz now i can connect.
One thing to know is that these days browsers also have all sorts of DNS caching going on. So, best to restart browser to make sure we are testing things afresh.

DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 10.8.0.1
So, the above line tells us that it got the internal DNS server correctly. So, far so good!
Next step: Disconnect from VPN. Then, go to the OpenVPN settings and put '8.8.8.8' as the DNS server. (https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/openvpn/#custom-dns-server) . Now, connect again.
Are you able to connect to VPN or is it that you are able to connect to VPN but unable to connect to any website? If you run
ipconfig /allagain now like before, what is the output ?

In the output where you can't connect, the DNS server is wrong
23.237.137.11.Also, out of curiosity, maybe you can also try to connect from your phone and see if you are able to connect. This will help identify if this is some openvpn client issue or some server side issue. I suspect something with Windows OpenVPN client.

I added the IP address of where my AdGuard is hosted.
23.237.137.11 is the ip of which both Adguard and OpenVPN are hosted at so i assumed it would be what i would put in OpenVPN's DNS.
I will try tho and report back
Edit: It works flawlessly on my phone.

@Jenova I guess that's good news and bad news
I have to leave you on your own here, since I have no clue how Windows DNS works. See http://woshub.com/dns-resolution-via-vpn-not-working-windows/ and https://serverfault.com/questions/356115/vpn-connection-causes-dns-to-use-wrong-dns-server for maybe some ideas.

@Jenova it happen to me when I didn't add my secondary Server IP(Adguard) on primary vpn server with cloudron.
So I went to my adguard server and I had go to setting on webgui->setting->dns-> allow client so I added primary IP on there and now it working.

I don't have a secondary IP. The VPS with which OpenVPN is hosted on is also the one Adguard is hosted on. There is only one IP for that server.

Do you think I should buy another VPS, install Cloudron on it and install either my VPN or Adguard on it and try with that?

Having a secondary server with Adguard on it works. I assume some configuration on the original Adguard server broke because the OpenVPN on the secondary server still couldn't connect with my main server Adguard.
Thanks guys for all the help, this can be marked as resolved.
