FWIW on my laptop (16.10) DNS queries are working as I wish it (ie "correctly"). With VPN disconnected all queries are going to the home router (192.168.33.1), queries for eg amachine.csl are sent there and come back NXDOMAIN. With VPN connected, queries on .csl are going to the remote VPN

Re "if you are using a VPN service for privacy purposes" - I have a contrary use case. I want to use my home router as much as possible, and the VPN (which may be my office network, or more critically a client's network) *only* for traffic required to go there. My understanding was that this

This might be my a-ha moment from comment # 64 "after upgrading to 16.10, yes it is even worse, the first VPN connection works as it should, but after disconnect/connect, DNS from VPN isn't propagated" I came to this bug because suddenly my VPN connection wasn't working when I *swear* it was
