I am trying to configure a new openvpn server and my clients can connect to the server, ping 4.2.2.2, but fails at layer 3 (DNS).
error:

How to I get openvpn to support dns for my clients?
systemctl restart systemd-resolved
Doesn't help
Upon connecting, my
/etc/resolv.conf
appears to update correctly.
