Really great tool and dead-simple to set up. However, the last time I checked, there was no DNS and UDP support. Do you know if that changed?

Yes, it supports dns now using the --dns option. UDP is not supported though.

The --dns option routes all DNS requests over the VPN connection. This means that you can't connect to a work VPN and (e.g.) browser porn on your lunch break. A cool option would be to route specific DNS requests over the connection (e.g. just requests for an internal DNS domain).

Looks like it supports DNS now, from looking at the readme.
