Hi,

I am experiencing similar issues with /etc/resolv.conf

When connected normally to wireless, I have the correct search domain and nameserver parameters in /etc/resolv.conf.

However, when the system connects to my OpenVPN server, there is nothing present in /etc/resolv.conf bar the regular "# generated by NetworkManager, do not edit!" comment. After this point, I am unable to complete any DNS requests.

Disconnecting from the VPN, but staying connected to wireless results in /etc/resolv.conf being repopulated with the correct data.

My OpenVPN server specifically does not push out any DNS data, as all relevant hosts are in /etc/hosts. If it did, I would expect NetworkManager to put in additional DNS entries instead of removing them altogether. Maybe different DNS priorities should be available for individual circumstances.

Regards

Kyle
