We don't need VNC access. So what I can think of here; it that I still don't know what kind of VPN you used. Was it vpnc, openvpn, openconnect or pptp? This is important because the behavior may change radically from one to the other.
What I tried was VPNC, seemed to work properly. I'll re-test shortly in case something happened to break my results. Could you also start the vpn plugin you use in debug mode (see http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/Debugging) and send me the logs via email? Mind that these logs may contain sensitive information like usernames and password, so you'll certainly want to review it first and "sanitize" it. Unless you mean that you're not actually using the VPN plugins from NetworkManager and instead use the binaries directly? That's pretty much the one way I can think of for them to modify resolv.conf directly. Perhaps as another data point you could attach /run/resolvconf/interface/NetworkManager, that should contain everything that comes from NetworkManager. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (mathieu-tl) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980579 Title: It's impossible to ignore VPN provided DNS servers Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have a desktop Precise installation with a normal dnsmasq installed, so I disabled the nm-spawned dnsmasq instance from NetworkManager.conf. I create a VPN connection in Network Manager without specifying any DNS servers. When I connect to it, I get: $ cat /var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf nameserver 150.140.1.4 nameserver 150.140.1.25 nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 194.63.238.4 nameserver 8.8.8.8 I want to ignore the first two entries which are provided by my VPN. So I go to the VPN connection editor and I declare DNS=127.0.0.1. But again I get the same /var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf, so my DNS server entry there is completely ignored by network-manager and/or resolvconf. How can I tell Network Manager and/or resolvconf to ignore the DNS servers provided by my VPN connection?
