I also have this issue on 16.04 and commenting out the dnsmasq line does not always work. For some reason /etc/resolv.conf does NOT contain the proper DNS entries, nor the search. If I add that manually it even gets overriden every now and then it seems. The save button on the network manager connection seems to do something too.
Anyway, this is just another annoying, crappy bug that makes Ubuntu less suitable for being used as a business laptop or developer machine. This, percona package bugs, docker setup bugs with vpn, suspend bugs that freeze the machine and so on. Ubuntu, Canonical, are you going to put some developer resources on fixing this? I am happy to report bugs, but if they don get fixed, I might lose my interest. thank you -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1169437 Title: network-manager does not configure local resolver or dnsmasq to use the nameserver addresses received from the VPN server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/1169437/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
