Changing my DNS to Google's in resolv.conf works!! It appears that my
ISP has me use a DNS server that is on the local network (aka, routed
through their modem), so of course it couldn't find it at the VPN
end!

Now my problem is that resolv.conf resets my manual edits back to what
the automatic dhcp resolution sets it to, so I'll have to look into how
to make that persist. Thank you!
