#At&t vpn for mac os x mac os#
Good to know the kind of things scutil can do.Īnd while on this confusing topic it is worth pointing out that tools like nslookup and dig use the resolver provided in /etc/nf so these are not good tools if you want to test what an average Mac OS program might be resolving a particular name to. I would like to point out this post though that shows how one can use scutil to override the DHCP or VPN assigned DNS servers with another. In my case the output of this command showed that the VPN provided resolver for my custom domain was being seen by scutil and yet it wasn’t being used – no idea why. (I am very very sketchy on the details and to be honest I didn’t make much of an effort to figure out the details either). Even though the Mac OS has a /etc/nf file it does not seem to be used rather, the OS has its own way of DNS resolution and scutil -dns lets you see what is configured. I couldn’t find a solution as such to this but learnt about scutil -dns in the process. So turns out many others have noticed and complained about this. Anyways, once I put these in though I thought it should just work out of the box but it didn’t. On Windows 10 I didn’t even have to do this – remote DNS and domains were automatically configured as part of connecting.
Continuing with my previous post … as part of configuring it I went to “Advanced” > “DNS” in the VPN connection and put in my remote end DNS server and domain name to search.
