OpenVPN clients are usually using the more user-friendly DNS server names "vpn1.hideway.eu" or "vpn2.hideway.eu" to access the VPN server.
However, with this configuration some users are experiencing problems due to bad DNS requests. To solve most DNS based issues simply follow the instructions below to change the DNS name into the IP-address.
How to change the DNS name:
- Find the correct configuration file. It has the extension .ovpn and is usually located ...
- on Windows XP/Vista: C:\Programs\OpenVPN\config
- on Windows XP/Vista 64-Bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenVPN\config
- on Macintosh OS X: Library/openvpn (in the Home folder of the respective user)
- Before changing anything save your current files!
- Open the configuration file with any text editor (e.g. WordPad or TextEdit).
- On Vista you have to start the editor with the option "Run as Administrator".
- Change the DNS server names depending on the used port from
- "vpn1.hideway.eu" to "83.65.30.29" or
- "vpn2.hideway.eu" to "83.65.30.26" or
- "vpn4.hideway.eu" to "83.65.30.25".
- Save the file.
- Restart OpenVPN to load the changed configuration files.
