I use NetworkManager, which manages resolve.conf. I find this more convenient than manually editing resolv.conf. My resolv.conf starts with: # Generated by NetworkManager If I use the NetworkManager desktop applet to access the connection editor (nm-connection-editor), I can edit the connection; under IPv4 Settings, I set Method Manual and list the DNS servers for this connection. I can also see the DNS servers listed under the Connection Information. The default behaviour is to use the DNS server supplied via DHCP, for example, from your router (likely the router itself). You will likely need two connections: one for your main connection and one for your VPN. I suggest adding custom DNS servers under your VPN connection settings.
