Thanks Thomas, I see that your change has made it to vivid (Ubuntu 15.04). Could this fix be considered for trusty-updates?
Without it, users of the L2TP plugin are faced with a rather subtle, but quite undesirable behavior: all DNS queries go to the VPN nameservers, even if the VPN is not a default route, in which case this could reasonably be considered a security violation (leaking of private information, namely all your Internet DNS lookups, no pun intended). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to resolvconf in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1349011 Title: nm-l2tp-service needs exception in ppp ip-up/down scripts Status in “resolvconf” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: There is an actively maintained NetworkManager L2TP VPN plugin, available as an Ubuntu package here: https://launchpad.net/~seriy- pr/+archive/ubuntu/network-manager-l2tp. Hopefully it will be a part of Ubuntu soon. Like nm-pptp-service, it needs an exception in /etc/ppp/ip-{up,down}.d/000resolvconf (part of the resolvconf package) as follows: % diff /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/000resolvconf /tmp/resolvconf-1.69ubuntu1.1/debian/resolvconf.000resolvconf.ppp.ip-up 16c16 < nm-l2tp-service-*|nm-pptp-service-*|/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/PPP/*) --- > nm-pptp-service-*|/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/PPP/*) Since that's how it works for the PPTP plugin, could we add the L2TP one as well so that it can work out of the box on Ubuntu?
