# FAQ

|
|
**Q:** The script has been updated since I installed OpenVPN. How do I update?
|
|
|
|
**A:** You can't. Managing updates and new features from the script would require way too much work. Your only solution is to uninstall OpenVPN and reinstall with the updated script.
|
|
|
|
You can, of course, it's even recommended, update the `openvpn` package with your package manager.

**Q:** How do I check for DNS leaks?
|
|
|
|
**A:** Go to [dnsleaktest.com](https://dnsleaktest.com/) or [ipleak.net](https://ipleak.net/) with your browser. Only your server's IP should show up.

**Q:** How do I fix DNS leaks?
|
|
|
|
**A:** On Windows 10 DNS leaks are blocked by default with the `block-outside-dns` option.
|
|
On Linux you need to add these lines to your `.ovpn` file based on your Distribution.

**Q:** Can I use an OpenVPN 2.3 client?
|
|
|
|
**A:** Yes. I really recommend using an up-to-date client, but if you really need it, choose the following options:
|
|
|
|
- No compression or LZ0
|
|
- RSA certificate
|
|
- DH Key
|
|
- AES CBC
|
|
- tls-auth
|
|
|
|
If your client is <2.3.3, remove `tls-version-min 1.2` from your `/etc/openvpn/server.conf` and `.ovpn` files.

**Q:** DNS is not working on my Linux client
|
|

|
|
|
|
**Q:** What syctl and iptables changes are made by the script?
|
|
|
|
**A:** Iptables rules are saved at `/etc/iptables/add-openvpn-rules.sh` and `/etc/iptables/rm-openvpn-rules.sh`. They are managed by the service `/etc/systemd/system/iptables-openvpn.service`
|
|
|
|
Sysctl options are at `/etc/sysctl.d/20-openvpn.conf`
|

|
**Q:** How can I access other clients connected to the same OpenVPN server?
