my work-around until this is fixed (dnsmasq DNS should be reset before
settings VPN tunnel DNS) is to reset the dns of the vpn connection
we can only do that via dbus because dnsmasq do not expose it's
configuration; we use a netwrok dispatcher script too, so:
in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/99resetvpndns
#!/bin/sh
interface=$1
status=$2
case $status in
vpn-up)
# because dnsmasq keep DNS LAN and leak our DNS, reset DNS servers to
PIA ones
dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.dnsmasq
--type=method_call /uk/org/thekelleys/dnsmasq uk.org.thekelleys.SetServers
dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.dnsmasq
--type=method_call /uk/org/thekelleys/dnsmasq uk.org.thekelleys.SetServers
uint32:3520991966
dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.dnsmasq
--type=method_call /uk/org/thekelleys/dnsmasq uk.org.thekelleys.SetServers
uint32:3520991962
;;
vpn-down)
;;
esac
and make the script executable
the uint32 are the DNS of your VPN converted to integer, use for example
to do that http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/IP2Integer.jsp
