Indeed! And on Yakkety the situation is even worse. With the new VPN menu the first VPN connection leaks DNS, the following connections do not work until one changes the resolv.conf file to some static IP.
Compare this to running openvpn from the terminal (which works perfectly) and you will see the problem is huge. -- 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.
