The networking scripts (NetworkManager --> dhclient --> if- up.d) set a subnet route and a default route. 2) A VPN connection is activated, setting a new default route. 3) original DHCP lease expires because the DHCP server cannot be reached from the other end of the VPN. The solution is something like this in the networking scripts: [ "$DHCP4_DHCP_SERVER_IDENTIFIER" ] && [ "$LOGICAL" ] && ip route add $DHCP4_DHCP_SERVER_IDENTIFIER dev $LOGICAL To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/616428/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
