If your organization (company) uses a VPN (e.g. Cisco AnyConnect), when you add the 'corporate DNS' section, you'll need to connect to your VPN first to determine the DNS to use. You can use ipconfig /all and look for the DNS Servers entry under the VPN adapter (e.g. Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Virtual Miniport Adapter for Windows x64). Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility is a great solution for creating a flexible working environment. Work anywhere on any device while always protecting your interests and assets from Internet-based threats. Its availability does depend on Cisco hardware, but it is a minor-added expense to the safest cyber security network available today.
