Static IP Address on Ethernet interface cause DNS problem #237

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hello all,
I have a problem with the Tunnelblick 3.4beta08 (build 3576) version. When I 
use static IP address on ethernet interface, tunnelblick doesn't set the 
correct DNS options.

Could you please help me? 

Thanks a lot,
Luca

That is by design. Tunnelblick's standard "Set nameserver" does not do much of 
anything if you have manual network settings. You might want to try the other 
DNS/WINS settings to see if they work better for you.

The reasoning is that if you have manual network settings, you know what you 
are doing and can deal with nameservers by setting them manually or creating 
your own scripts to set them.

You might want to try the other DNS/WINS settings to see if they work better 
for you.

An alternative is to create your own "up" and "down" scripts, which could do 
whatever you want. You could just copy the scripts used by 'Set nameserver" and 
make them ignore the manual setting. (You may only need to change the up 
script; the down script is probably OK as is because it mostly just does what 
the up script tells it to do.)
