What do you guys think am I safe connecting like this?
I used to use my home IP address that is in Lithuania to login to eBay UK, before Ive got problems with paypal. | I can only guess when it comes to DNS in Europe in regards to if that is the closest Google DNS server.
I found this to push DNS from the server.
Push DNS Changes to Redirect All Traffic Through the VPN
The default settings will create the VPN connection between the two machines, but will not force any connections to use the tunnel. If you wish to use the VPN to route all of your traffic, you will likely want to push the DNS settings to the client computers.
To do this, uncomment a few directives that will configure client machines to redirect all web traffic through the VPN. Find the redirect-gateway section and remove the semicolon ";" from the beginning of the redirect-gateway line to uncomment it: $ nano /etc/openvpn/server.conf
push "redirect-gateway def1 bypass-dhcp"
Just below this in /etc/openvpn/server.conf, find the dhcp-option section. Again, remove the ";" from in front of both of the lines to uncomment them: push "dhcp-option DNS 208.67.222.222"
push "dhcp-option DNS 208.67.220.220"
This should assist clients in re-configuring their DNS settings to use the VPN tunnel as the default gateway.
I'm use to removing #'s to uncomment but it looks like there is a ;'s to remove to enable here.
208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220 may possibly be the default to use the DNS nameserver of the data-centers ISP. I say this because in SoftEther it's the default gateway address of 192.168.30.1.
If one of those ip addresses aren't the default gateway address, you can run command $ ip neigh on the Linux client while connected to the VPN to get default gateway address. Then try using it for DNS nameserver if you want to use the DNS nameserver of the data-centers ISP. It may or may not work.
8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 would give me a ip's like 74.125.46.XX belonging to google as well.
