V 1.38 SSL VPN DNS bug

hORnZ

Good day,

After upgrading my flex700h to the latest (1.38) firmware, SSL VPN stopped to do any DNS resolution.

In VPN - SSL VPN, option DNS Server I have ZyWall. Used to work fine. When I check logs now of VPN client connected, I see this "ZyWall" is passed as is, while it has to be an IP instead. I have currently fixed it manually specifying interface IP, but automated testing shall be knocking Zyxel door.

Yes this does look like a bug that the SSL VPN is not pulling the Zywall DNS by DHCP like 192.168.51.1 when IP pool is 192.168.51.0/24 when set to zywall or zywall then custom or custom then Zywall

workaround is to set custom with 192.168.51.1 for DNS

I agree with @PeterUK you can set DNS as that workaround or declare them like 8.8.8.8
