Works for me after disabling NetworkManager's own dnsmasq. I'm using trusty with the following versions:
* network-manager 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu7pitti1 * network-manager-openvpn 0.9.8.2-1ubuntu4 * network-manager-openvpn-gnome 0.9.8.2-1ubuntu4 * openvpn 2.3.2-7ubuntu3 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1211110 Title: network manager openvpn dns push data not updating resolv.conf Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “openvpn” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When IPv4 Method is set to Automatic VPN, DNS address recieved from OpenVPN server do not update resolv.conf. This can be achieved when using a standard openvpn config file by adding the lines: script-security 2 up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf In Network-manager there seems to be no option to run connection specific scripts and the DNS data from the server is ignored.
