OpenVPN Client: Accept DNS Configuration

[slytho]

Hi! My question is about the OpenVPN Client setting:

1. Accept DNS Configuration: Strict
2. Accept DNS Configuration: Exclusive

What is the difference between these two values? How do they work compared to each other? There are a few webpages with explanations on this, but to me they seem contradictory. So what is the truth?

Omg, thank you! I didn't found *this* source before.

It would be a charm if those short explanations could make it into a tooltip in the GUI or so.
