Same issue for me on 15.10, but it didn't happen on 15.04. Using the script-security 2 option in the configuration file, everything works correctly when run from command line: "sudo openvpn --config file.ovpn"
For me, this problem only happens when connecting through Network Manager. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded 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: Confirmed Status in openvpn package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When IPv4 Method is set to Automatic VPN, DNS address recieved from OpenVPN server do not update resolv.conf.
