We have the same situation with two default gateways, one (VPN) with lower metric and another (internet) with higher, but Windows doesn't do DNS queries like it does with OpenVPN connection. Interesting fact # 2: Built-in VPN configuration (tested with IPsec IKEv2) somehow sets system up to avoid DNS leaks if your DNS on internet adapter is out of local segment. But Windows 10 re-adds default route via internet adapter after some time (I suppose this somehow bound to lease time but I'm not sure) with lower metric (always!) which causes all your traffic to bypass VPN even if it is connected and visually everything looks fine.
It works because Windows 8.1+ binds to the interface before sending DNS request and if we don't have route via specific interface, the request won't be sent. This way OpenVPN removes default internet gateway and adds default route via tunnel. OpenVPN delivers on all fields, but SoftEther does the same, and it’s a matter of preference which you choose.Interesting fact # 1: leak could be avoided if route-gateway is used without def1 parameter AND network (internet) interface uses DNS not from local segment. OpenVPN is a versatile app that runs on Windows, Mac, Android, iOS, and Linux. There are options for manual set-up if you want to use the more advanced features of the program, but the automatic connection works for most users. Even if they do happen, the program will reconnect automatically as soon as possible, although that may take a few minutes in some cases. Another benefit lies in the multifunctionality, as you can use the program across platforms.īesides, OpenVPN provides a solid transmission speed. It provides the users with various options for controlling the client security, as well as that of the server. When it comes to security, OpenVPN is watertight. The program guarantees secure connection via switching to TCP if UDP fails. TCP guarantees that your data will be properly received on the other end, while UDP operates quicker, but without the checks that TCP performs.
OpenVPN functions on two basic protocols - transmission control (TCP) and user datagram (UDP). OpenVPN is the solution for any online safety issue, as it features multiple configurations for everything from personal to big business use. You have to choose the lesser of the two evils - but not anymore. VPNs (virtual private networks) tend to be slow, but otherwise, your data transmission will be far from safe.
