[QUOTE="n8chavez, post: 1058091, member: 90863"] So, it seems there is no issue with VPN DNS filtering. It does what it is supposed to do. But perhaps there's an issue with Firefox's proxy connection settings. Maybe. When a socks5 proxy is configured, as in the screenshot below, and the option to proxy DNS to the server above is enable filtering within the browser does not work. If that proxy DNS option is not checked everything works like I expect. Why this I don't know. I guess I just assumed the proxy DNS option bound all DNS queries to the proxy server. Either this is not the case, or there is a bug in that feature. But I am unable to ping addresses I know should be blocked when I'm connected to the VPN's DNS. That tells me the issue is with the browser and not the service. [ATTACH]278686[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
