One more comment: I had a leftover IPv6 config on the server, which basically ment it was enabled but not really used. After disabling it (commenting out all "server-ipv6") everything works as it used to, just without IPv6.
I've noticed now what I missed before, in syslog (again, parts removed): Apr 18 09:42:10 msylw-imac NetworkManager[1152]: <info> IPv4 configuration: Apr 18 09:42:10 msylw-imac NetworkManager[1152]: <info> Forbid Default Route: yes Apr 18 09:42:10 msylw-imac NetworkManager[1152]: <info> IPv6 configuration: Apr 18 09:42:10 msylw-imac NetworkManager[1152]: <info> Forbid Default Route: no My guess is that the ipv6 config also prevented the "old" default dns from being used for ipv4. I have no idea whether it makes sense to have forbid default route for ipv4 but not for ipv6, and whether this should stay here or be considered configuration error. BTW: I'm currently using kubuntu, and it lacks the dialog for configuring ipv6 for openvpn. If this would be considered invalid configuration then perhaps this has to be redirected as gui problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1304437 Title: After connecting to OpenVPN server the default DNS is no longer available To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/1304437/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
