equinux VPN Tracker 8.1.1 - Manual (Page 48)

ASN.1 DN
An ASN.1 Distinguished Name (DN) is used for identification. Normally used in
conjunction with certificate-based authentication. Enter the (correctly format-
ted) ASN.1 DN that the VPN gateway sends.
Remote Certificate
The identifier is the ASN.1 Distinguished Name taken from the subject of the
remote certificate (only possible when using certificates for authentication).
DNS
Use Remote DNS Server
VPN Tracker can use a name (DNS) server in the remote network of the VPN to
look up certain (or all) host names. This is useful if your organization operates
an internal DNS server that can look up host names of computers on the in-
ternal network.
Availability: always
Receive DNS Settings from VPN Gateway
When checked, VPN Tracker will use the DNS settings transmitted by the VPN
gateway during automatic configuration. To see if your VPN gateway transmits
such information, turn off Remote DNS, then connect. VPN Tracker will show a
message in the log suggesting to turn on Remote DNS if settings have been
transmitted.

Use DNS Server for
This setting determines the scope of the remote DNS server(s). It is possible to
use the remote DNS server(s) for all DNS lookups, or just for hosts in a specific
domain.
All Domains
While the VPN is connected, the remote DNS server is used for every DNS
lookup on this Mac, not just hosts that are part of the remote network.
When using this option, it is important to make sure the VPN
connection and the remote DNS server are correctly configured:
If one or both are not working, the Mac will appear to be cut off
from the Internet while the VPN is active.
Search Domains
The remote DNS server is used only for looking up host names that are part of
the search domain(s). At least one search domain must be configured.
