I managed to get OpenVPN working from within Network-Manager using the following setup
1. Setup your OpenVPN connection in Network Manager using "Network Connections / Add / OpenVPN" 2. Create a new LAN/WLAN connection e.g. "LAN VPN" 3. In "General" Tab set "automatically connect to VPN" and select the OpenVPN entry 4. In "IPv4" tab set "DHCP Address only" and set DNS address of the VPN provider manually 5. Save and test You should be able to select "LAN VPN" connection which will kick-off the OpenVPN which will then make use of the DNS entry that is manually provided. So you indirectly activate the VPN connection which also gives you no DNS leaks. PS: In /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf I had to comment out the dns=dnsmasq entry. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1211110 Title: network manager openvpn dns push data not updating system DNS addresses To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1211110/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
