Troubleshooting

If there’s a connection failure and connection logs show
“Unrecognized option or missing or extra parameter(s) in configuration:”, make sure that you’ve added the line pull-filter ignore “block-outside-dns” as mentioned in Step 6(ii).

If the same error appears, then remove that line and add ignore-unknown-option block-outside-dns and then connect again.
