To all:
running a nmcli command showed me where the VPN address is coming from
nmcli --show-secrets connection show tun0
...lot of output including
ipv4.addresses: 10.18.0.38/16
ipv4.gateway: 10.18.0.1
So my openSuse Leap 15.4 system using Network Manager and the openvpn
built in component is setting up the address into the /etc/resolv.conf file.
Apparently this VPN is useless to my Netgear c6300v2 cable modem/router
as at this point in time, I don't believe the router has anyway of
connecting to the vpn tunnel.
I am going to ignore this VPN address for now.
My question has been answered for now.
