Actually, I'd like to retract part of what I said above. Via tcpdump, I was able to confirm that --push on the server for "dhcp-option DNS ..." and "redirect-gateway" ARE ACTUALLY WORKING, though the changes are not visible in /etc/resolv.conf. Rather, they are updated in dnsmasq and resolv.conf points to dnsmasq. (I don't think the "def1" flag for "redirect-gateway" works.)
In my view, two things are needed: (1) a documented way to view the list of DNS servers within Network Manager's dnsmasq so folks here can watch what is happening without tcpdump, and (2) support for "dhcp- option DNS ..." and "redirect-gateway" on the client (not just options pushed from the server). The first item seems more important and should be much easier. -- 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/1211110 Title: network manager openvpn dns push data not updating system DNS addresses Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in openvpn package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When IPv4 Method is set to Automatic VPN, DNS address recieved from OpenVPN server do not update resolv.conf. This can be achieved when using a standard openvpn config file by adding the lines: script-security 2 up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf In Network-manager there seems to be no option to run connection specific scripts and the DNS data from the server is ignored.
