Curent behavior: The Android OpenVPN client is not able to connect to the VPN server when the Android device is within the internal network. ```plain pi@raspberrypi:~# pihole -a hostrecord home.mydomain.de 192.168.1.10 Setting host record for home.mydomain.de -> 192.168.1.10 pi@raspberrypi:~# grep 'home' /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf host-record=home.mydomain.de,192.168.1.10 ``` Afterwards: The Android OpenVPN client is able to connect to the VPN server and shows its internal IP (`192.168.1.10`). --- This command is IPv6-aware. Use: ```plain pi@raspberrypi:~# pihole -a hostrecord home.mydomain.de 192.168.1.10,2003:89:xxxx:xxxx::xxx Setting host record for home.mydomain.de -> 192.168.1.10,2003:89:xxxx:xxxx::xxx ``` `dig aaaa home.mydomain.de` will return the IPv6 address on the corresponding device in the internal network. Note that should not be necessary when using the proper global scope IPv6 address. --- It is also possible to remove the configuration by not specifying any host/IP: ```plain pi@raspberrypi:~# pihole -a hostrecord Removing host record pi@raspberrypi:~# grep 'home' /etc/dnsmasq.d/01-pihole.conf ``` Result: The configuration has been removed. The OpenVPN server is, again, not able to connect. --- _This template was created based on the work of [`udemy-dl`](https://github.com/nishad/udemy-dl/blob/master/LICENSE)._
