Bug ID: 403546
Summary: Redundant plasma-nm wireguard DNS entry in connection
editor
Product: plasma-nm
Version: master
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: editor
Assignee: jgrul...@redhat.com
Reporter: lbeltr...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The DNS field in the connection editor for WireGuard VPNs is redundant, because
it exposes an implementation detail (from the wg-quick utility) and does not
leverage the IPv* connection options from NetworkManager.
At the same time, it is completely non-functional for systems that don't use
resolvconf.
In short, it would probably need to be removed and NM's native handling used
instead.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a WireGuard connection in a distribution that doesn't use resolvconf
2. Fill in the DNS field in the UI
OBSERVED RESULT
The VPN connection, once established, does not use the configured DNS, as
expected due to the lack of resolvconf.
Setting DNS via the NetworkManager IP options (i.e. changing from "Automatic"
to "Automatic (addresses only)" and setting the DNS) does change the VPN's DNS
correctly.
