[Bug 1211110] Re: network manager openvpn dns push data not updating resolv.conf
I'd like to point out that the description of the bug is inaccurate. When networkmanager uses dnsmasq, resolv.conf should not be updated when new dns servers must be used. Instead, networkmanager needs to update dnsmasq's configuration. And it does not do that, which is a problem. Proper description should be: network manager openvpn dns push data not updating system dns addresses I can confirm that the problem exists on 14.10. ** Summary changed: - network manager openvpn dns push data not updating resolv.conf + network manager openvpn dns push data not updating system DNS addresses -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openvpn in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120 Title: network manager openvpn dns push data not updating system DNS addresses To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/120/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 1211110] Re: network manager openvpn dns push data not updating resolv.conf
I can confirm that this bug does not occur when you disable dnsmasq for NetworkManager. However, I wanted to add how you can do so: Open /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf in an editor and change dns=dnsmasq to this: #dns=dnsmasq Then, restart NetworkManager: sudo service network-manager restart -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openvpn in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120 Title: network manager openvpn dns push data not updating resolv.conf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/120/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs

[Bug 1211110] Re: network manager openvpn dns push data not updating resolv.conf
I have the same problem on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr.
Not sure this is a bug, though, just a M$ Windows-only feature as it's a
TCP/IP extended property. The man page for OpenVPN describes --dhcp-
option as a Windows-specific option.
If the OpenVPN server pushes a DNS server address to the client with, eg
dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8
then on a Linux platform this option is not actioned by the client.
Instead it is copied to a set of incrementally numbered local
environment variables named
foreign_option_{n}
which are available to scripts run by the --up and --down OpenVPN
options.
The /etc/openvpn/update-resolve-conf script provided with the OpenVPN package
parses these environment variables and
calls resolvconf to effectively do the same job in a Linuxy way.
Comment #5 is invalid since the script uses resolvconf to update
/etc/resolv.conf -- it is not edited directly.
This is not, therefore, an OpenVPN bug, excepting that the current
OpenVPN solution requires a reduced security policy by allowing builtin
executables and scripts to be called when, by design, this is normally
prohibited by default.
It is a feature request for Network Manager, though.

[Bug 1211110] Re: network manager openvpn dns push data not updating resolv.conf
It seems that the fix suggested in description will not work because /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf updates /etc/resolv.conf (it adds the DNS server sent by openvpn server to this file). However /etc/resolv.conf is automatically updated by network manager, second line of this file says: # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN Not sure what the proper solution is, maybe the entries should be added to some file in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/ and /etc/resolv.conf should be regenerated? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openvpn in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/120 Title: network manager openvpn dns push data not updating resolv.conf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvpn/+bug/120/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
