Since I've installed the snap and configured the client (following the documented steps), when connected to the VPN I haven't been able to use it for external traffic, as no DNS can be resolved.
I'm surprised as it's supposed to be "plug-and-play", but I can't find what the issue could be except a problem with the package configuration?
I can ping IPs directly, but not from their domain name (and dig returns a timeout).
I've tried to set dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8 in the client conf file, tweaked the NetworkManager config, etc, but that didn't change anything.
I couldn't find how to modify the server configuration file (but I believe that's on purpose?), although I've tried to guess the command snap set easy-openvpn-server push="dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8", but no more luck (and no idea if the command actually did change anything).
I've also played with openresolv, tried many configuration options for the client.... Still nothing
(and yes, after all this it would have probably been much quicker for me to just install and configure a "normal" openvpn package haha)
And I see no special log on the server except some file not found error, here are the last few lines:
