Thomas: I am not an expert on this, but as far as I can tell from the documentation you are seeing a different dns replying at times because (I quote the systemd.resolved.service doc) "Multi-label names are routed to all local interfaces that have a DNS sever configured (...) If lookups are routed to multiple interfaces, the first successful response is returned".
So basically all the dns servers defined in all of your links are fair game. DNS requests are sent to all of them at the same time and whichever replies first win the day! My understanding is that you have to specify dhcp-options DOMAIN-ROUTE . in your openvpn connection settings to force dns requests to all domains to go through the vpn link and ignore the dns on other links. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1624317 Title: systemd-resolved breaks VPN with split-horizon DNS Status in systemd: New Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I use a VPN configured with network-manager-openconnect-gnome in which a split-horizon DNS setup assigns different addresses to some names inside the remote network than the addresses seen for those names from outside the remote network. However, systemd-resolved often decides to ignore the VPN’s DNS servers and use the local network’s DNS servers to resolve names (whether in the remote domain or not), breaking the split-horizon DNS.
