@https://launchpad.net/~cyphermox Mathieu, why are you marking this as Incomplete? Can you be specific in what kind of information you need to consider it complete, instead of pointing people to a DNS admin, who may not be interested in filing a bug?
Some people clearly described how the behaviour changed from 14.04 and I can confirm this. The current setup is nowhere near a working solution that a normal user that gets VPN connection info can work with. That hurts business users and pisses developers and users off that even want to make an attempt to make it work. The net is flooded with issues regarding VPN and DNS, it would be great if you can point us to the right steps and information to supply to actually get this working like say the cisco AnyConnect secure mobility client. With the exact same VPN server, I can use that tool on Mac OS X without ANY configuration and it "Just works". I would say the goal is to have it working like that for everybody using network manager. Let's talk defaults, settings and requirements and I'll try to get the server info or anything else that is needed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1211110 Title: network manager openvpn dns push data not updating system DNS addresses Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in openvpn package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: [Triage Notes] This bug can no longer make progress. Please see comment 50 for details and further instructions. [Original Description] When IPv4 Method is set to Automatic VPN, DNS address recieved from OpenVPN server do not update resolv.conf. This can be achieved when using a standard openvpn config file by adding the lines: script-security 2 up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf In Network-manager there seems to be no option to run connection specific scripts and the DNS data from the server is ignored.
