Hello Together,

i have a GL-AR150, on this device i have configured “Celo” OpenVPN as OpenVPN Client.

When i am using this OpenVPN with manuell DNS → “1.1.1.1” and “1.0.0.1” it works.  
All works fine.  
Manual DNS Server Settings (1.1.1.1 und 1.0.0.1)  
[https://ipx.ac/results/MwGFxEzdKpZMLrtG](https://ipx.ac/results/MwGFxEzdKpZMLrtG)

When i am using this OpenVPN with “DNS over TLS from Cloudflare” it does not work.  
I get an connection to the VPN-Server.  
There is some upload and download.

But when i open a site in my browser,  
i have errors:  
ERR\_NAME\_RESOLUTION\_FAILED  
DNS\_PROBE\_FINISHED\_NO\_INTERNET  
Some sites are working.

DNS over TLS from Cloudflare

Do you have some tipps.  
Bye the way, the setup with “DNS over TLS from Cloudflare” was working.  
I think since 3 days not more.

Greet and thanks  
Michael

Do you mean some websites with DNS over TLS can work, but some websites can’t work?

Could you please stop the OpenVPN, and try it again?

Hi,

only (without VPN) “DNS over TLS from Cloudflare” it works fine.  
and  
only (without VPN) DNS “1.1.1.1” / “1.0.0.1” it works fine.

In both cases i have no problem open websites.

Manuell DNS with “1.1.1.1/1.0.0.1” and “Celo” VPN it works.  
No Problem to open websites.

But with “DNS over TLS from Cloudflare” and with “Celo” VPN it does not work,  
i can not open websites.  
DNS\_PROBE\_FINISHED\_NO\_INTERNET

I have restart the OpenVPN Client and i was trying a reboot,  
nothing changes, i have same problem to open websites.

Greet and thanks  
Michael

If you manually set up dns the dns is not encrypted. So it is different from use dns tls.

So one explaination could be that your vpn blocks dns encryption to cloudflare. But I need to verify.

Anyway you could share with me your vpn profile ?

Could you please ssh to the router, and execute this command? Please show me the result.

```auto
cat /etc/config/dhcp

```

Thanks for your information. The configuration file is fine. Would it caused by your VPN provider block DNS over TLS?

I suggest that you change the service provider.

Because this means that they may use your DNS data. Otherwise they may allow DNS encryption.

</div>

The Provider told me:  
The Server that I am use, is a special only for Streaming, and it has multi-hop vpn-connections.  
Because of that multi-hop, i should not use “DNS over TLS” .
