Public bug reported: The exact same VPN configuration (both server-client) was working perfectly with Ubuntu 18.04. After upgrading, the DNS server is not updated with the one pushed by the VPN server. It's not updated even if I set it to MANUAL and specify the IP address in the VPN configuration dialog. This can be checked with `systemd-resolve --status` which returns the original LAN provided DNS server.
This breaks completely an OpenVPN connection under Ubuntu 18.10. The workaround I did was to manually add a script in `/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d` which forces systemd-resolve to use a specific IP address as the main DNS server. But it's an ugly hack.
