This appears to be a bug in host caused in some circumstances however we implement a workaround to call it under 'timeout' as the issue with 'host' has not easily been identified, and in any case acts as a fall-back. [Test Case] * Multiple people have been unable to create a reproducer on a generic machine (e.g. it does not occur in a VM), I have a specific machine I can reproduce it on (a Skull Canyon NUC with Intel I219-LM) by simply "ifdown br0; ifup br0" and there are clearly 10s of other users affected in varying circumstances that all involve the same symptoms but no clear test case exists. Best I can suggest is that I test the patch on my system to ensure it works as expected, and the change is only 1 line which is fairly easily auditible and understandable. [Regression Potential] * The change is a single line change to the shell script to call host with "timeout". When tested on working and non-working system this appears to function as expected. I believe the regression potential for this is subsequently low. * In attempt to anticipate possible issues, I checked that the timeout command is in the same path (/usr/bin) as the host command that is already called without a path, and the coreutils package (which contains timeout) is an Essential package. I also checked that timeout is not a built-in in bash, for those that have changed /bin/sh to bash (just in case). [Other Info] * N/A [Original Bug Description] On 18.04 Openconnect connects successfully to any of multiple VPN concentrators but network traffic does not flow across the VPN tunnel connection. When testing on 16.04 this works flawlessly. This also worked on this system when it was on 17.10. I have tried reducing the mtu of the tun0 network device but this has not resulted in me being able to successfully ping the IP address.
