I found another workaround, that works fine without changing package versions or DNS servers. It is tested with the issues I had with openconnect for NM.
it is "just" killing the dnsmasq instance and it gets restarted automatically which then results in a working system again. It easy and not pretty, but works. Then only (perhaps) noticeable interruption is a few seconds where DNS is not working 15 seconds after the connection has been established: $ cat /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/99-openconnect-dnsmasq-bug #!/bin/bash set -e # force restart of dnsmasq on vpn connect if [[ "$1" =~ "vpn" ]] && [ $2 = "up" ] then if [ -e /var/run/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.pid ] then $( sleep 15 && /bin/kill -15 $(cat /var/run/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.pid) ) fi fi -- 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
