Cruz, thanks for this. However, (1) after all the trouble I had getting OpenVPN working, I don't fancy switching to something else (and my system does work at present, using the older version of Network Manager).
Also, (2) I don't really understand what you say about /etc/hosts, though probably I could work it out. Further, (3) if I understand the last paragraph of your comment #13: I don't know; after all, at the top of this page we can read not only, 'Xenial - In Progress' (though it seems pretty slow progress! It's been at least a month since this show-stopping bug was first reported) but also, 'Yakkety - Triaged'. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1688018 Title: DNS server from vpn connection is not being used after network-manager upgrade to 1.2.6 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1688018/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
