In other words, if you set a custom DNS record for the Client VPN endpoint, then forward the traffic to the actual IP address the endpoint's DNS name resolves to, this setup will not work using recent AWS-provided clients. This rule was added to mitigate a server IP attack as described here: TunnelCrack.

richhanbidge's solution worked for me as well on iPhone. Choosing tethered iPhone USB from the Network settings and then restarting the VPN worked.
