Hey folks,

im trying to setting up an OpenVPN Server on a privileged container. After setting up the iptables rules, the DNS is unreachable.

I have added following to the Host /etc/pve/lxc/123.conf
Code:
lxc.cgroup.devices.allow: c 10:200 rwm
lxc.mount.entry: /dev/net dev/net none bind,create=dir

I have added following to the Container /etc/sysctl.conf
Code:
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6=1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=1

This are my DNS-Settings in the Proxmox Webgui
Code:
1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1

This is my iptable script on the Container:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# Flush
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -t mangle -F
iptables -F
iptables -X

# Block All
iptables -P OUTPUT DROP
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD DROP

# allow Localhost
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT

# Make sure you can communicate with any DHCP server
iptables -A OUTPUT -d 255.255.255.255 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -s 255.255.255.255 -j ACCEPT

# Make sure that you can communicate within your own network
iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 192.168.1.0/24 -j ACCEPT

# Allow established sessions to receive traffic:
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

# Allow TUN
iptables -A INPUT -i tun+ -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i tun+ -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -o tun+ -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o tun+ -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A OUTPUT -o tun+ -j ACCEPT

# allow VPN connection
iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -p udp --destination-port 1194 -m comment --comment "Allow VPN connection" -j ACCEPT

# Block All
iptables -A OUTPUT -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -j DROP
iptables -A FORWARD -j DROP

# Log all dropped packages, debug only.

iptables -N logging
iptables -A INPUT -j logging
iptables -A OUTPUT -j logging
iptables -A logging -m limit --limit 2/min -j LOG --log-prefix "IPTables general: " --log-level 7
iptables -A logging -j DROP

echo "saving"
iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules
echo "done"
#echo 'openVPN - Rules successfully applied, we start "watch" to verify IPtables in realtime (you can cancel it as usual CTRL + c)'
#sleep 3
#watch -n 0 "sudo iptables -nvL"

If I change the DNS Server in Proxmox to "use value from host" everything works fine, but I want another DNS for this container

I hope someone can help me.
