I am using a split tunnel and the vpn-user does not use the vpn DNS?

So I tried to setup a split tunnel on my server (my server is the vpn-client). Where a vpn-user would only be able to access the internet with the VPN interface (tun0).

I've followed and tried to "translate" a ubuntu guide to CentOS 8. The guide I have been following is Force Torrent which has been inspired by Force Torrent Traffic through VPN Split Tunnel Debian 8 + Ubuntu 16.04 and then I applied the updates I found in Split Tunnel Guide for Ubuntu 18.04.

This resulted in the following files:

Checking VPN public IP with: sudo -u vpn -i -- curl ipinfo.io gave me: curl: (6) Could not resolve host: ipinfo.io. While sudo curl ipinfo.io --interface tun0 works fine. I also get issues when ping www.google.se as the vpn-user, but if I instead use the IP of that domain, it works fine.
