Re: Re: At my wit's end with openvpn
Goes to syslog by default i.e /var/log/syslog IIRC.
Your name resolution issue is seperate, and probably due to needing
different name servers. Ensure you have a tun/tap device and IP etc
from your vpn provider with ;
$ip addr
and
$ip route show
and pinging the (hopefully new) default gateway.
Find out from your provider what dns servers you can use. Or at a
pinch at opendns or googles global ones (8.8.8.8) into
/etc/resolv.conf
