Looks like finding out what DNS server is *asked* about a query (add log-queries to dnsmasq.conf) is going to require another reboot : if I restart NetworkManager then the VPN connection will also restart .. circular reference to this bug again. I can't afford to keep doing this during a work

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
