I am able to connect to my company VPN just fine, and can even access network resources, but ONLY via direct IP address. The problem I am having is that Secure DNS is hijacking my company’s internal DNS.
The point of a VPN is to establish a secure connection to another network. It is implied that this network would be secure, so I really struggle to see why Avast thought it would be necessary to hijack the DNS of my VPN network. :-X
ASIDE from disabling this shield, is it possible to somehow “whitelist” my DNS while on VPN, or else some method for automatically disabling the Secure DNS while connected to VPN?
I’ve spent a few days and over a dozen hours researching this and trying to find a solution, and even called Avast support, but they wanted $119 out of me. :o Pffff, screw that, so I thought I’d ask ya’ll.
