Sorry, I am so bad at explaining. I know there is the option of going to some IPs through the VPN, others open, or vice versea.

I am sitting behind the Great Firewall of China, which is run by what may well be the worlds most paranoid censors outside North Korea (which banned the Internet and moble phones altogether), who sometimes even block weather.com, who log all in- and out emails and chats, blogs, whatever, block news by keywords and sometimes even block their own sites from being accessed by the rest of the world. I hope you get the picture.

So I want all, absolutely every single packet to go exclusively and only through the VPN. No options wanted, particularly not local domain servers.

Under Feisty network-manager OpenVPN did just that. All packets went through the VPN, the DNS in resolv.conf was replaced by the VPNs and everything was wonderful.

Now, under Gutsy, OpenVPN still does its job as before, but the domains do not resolve anymore. That is the issue.
