DNS

A VPN tunnel can be configured to use a remote DNS server
(so your Mac can resolve hostnames from the remote
network).

To enable remote DNS:

Check the box next to “Use Remote DNS Server“

When using Client Provisioning or Mode Config, you can
choose to receive DNS settings from the VPN gateway.

Check “Receive DNS Settings...“ if applicable

‣ Enter a DNS server’s IP address
‣ Enter a search domain (optional)
‣ Choose between Split DNS and Global DNS

Split DNS will use the remote DNS server only for the search
domains specified before, while Global DNS will use it for all
domains.

Note

Global DNS will work only when the remote DNS

server can resolve public hostnames (like
google.com) directly or indirectly.

Advanced Settings

device-specific, but not connection-specific (although you can
configure connections . encryption and authentication
settings. When using a device profile without any
modifications, you usually don’t have to visit this tab.
