Trouble with Transmission-OpenVPN Install

Following steps on GitHub for creation of this Docker. Trouble is that I’m having the DNS issue described in ‘Known Issues’ section. I’ve changed the DNS settings in resolv.conf to google (8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4) but I still get ‘Unable to resolve hostname’. I’m 99% sure I have the environment variables set correctly. The domain that docker is using does resolve with nslookup. I have the network settings to use NAT which shouldn’t be a problem. What am I missing?
