I can confirm this problem. Since updating to 16.10 DNS fails when openvpn connection is enabled in NetworkManager. Intranet DNS lookups do not work - so the corporate servers cannot be reached. Additionally all my traffic is routed through the VPN and all external internet traffic is blocked.
A partial fix is to disable dnsmasq in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf [main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile,ofono #dns=dnsmasq [ifupdown] managed=false And to restart NM with: sudo service network-manager restart After this external traffic works again - but intranet hosts are still not resolvable - so I have to add manual settings in /etc/hosts for the intranet. In 16.04 openvpn with pushed DNS worked perfectly - the openvpn server has not been changed and is still working fine for other clients. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1636395 Title: dnsmasq not working with OpenVPN To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/1636395/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
