Hi,

I followed this setup guide for OpenVPN on linode server: http://library.linode.com/networking...tu-10.04-lucid.

I've been able to connect successfully to the vpn network from a windows 7 laptop and can ping/access outside servers by IP addresses directly. However the browsers are not working which I suspect is due to DNS issue.

Can anyone help with this? Let me know if there's more info I can provide that would help with the debugging.
