Re "if you are using a VPN service for privacy purposes" - I have a contrary use case. I want to use my home router as much as possible, and the VPN (which may be my office network, or more critically a client's network) *only* for traffic required to go there. My understanding was that this was controlled by the checkebox "Use only for resources on this connection" - although, by the sounds of it, that only affects routing of traffic not DNS lookups (it *is* on the Routes.. subdialog)

I can't check just now whether DNS queries are going where I intend or not - I'll have to reboot to get a working VPN link (Refer to Bug #1644098 <g>) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1644098 Title: Network Manager + OpenVPN does not respond to DNS server change on second connection attempt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1644098/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
