A simple workaround is to edit your VPN connection (via NM) and set up static DNS, for example using Google servers:
8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 This way, the DNS request is sent through an external IP, hence it is routed using the VPN. If you were using the default DNS from your router (probably an internal IP like 192.168.x.y) then the DNS request would go outside the VPN. I just discovered that Google provides also IPv6 servers, by searching for "IPv6 DNS Servers" on DuckDuckGo (a very convenient table of DNS servers by provider shows up). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded 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.
