Looking at the logs of my local DNS server, my Linux computer has been looking up 191.0.0.10.in-addr.arpa every few seconds. It also looks up ipv4only.arpa, but less frequently. As far as I know, arpa domains are apart of the DNS system itself? Is this normal?

    What kind of vpn software are you using?

    I’m connecting to OpenVPN through KDE’s network settings panel.

    Is it still looking up with your vpn completely disabled?

    It doesn’t seem to use the DNS server at all when the VPN is disabled, even though I specified the DNS server on the Wi-Fi connection itself.

    KDE’s DNS settings are weird.
