Description

I have an OpenVPN client setup to connect to ExpressVPN. ExpressVPN does not provide static DNS servers for use with their VPN traffic; DNS servers are assigned dynamically. If the "Pull DNS" checkbox is checked within the OpenVPN client settings, I'd expect my DNS Resolver to use the Express VPN assigned DNS servers

Instead, the DNS Resolver still uses the DNS servers that are configured via System -> General Setup. I have my DNS Resolver in forwarding mode ("Enable Forwarding Mode" is checked). If I put the DNS Resolver in resolver mode, then DNS queries are forwarded to my ISP (Comcast).
