Your description of DNS leak is consistent with my own understanding. Specifically, DNS testing sites show my own ISP being used instead of being that of the VPN.
As for my setup, I simply follow the Private Internet Access Linux step- by-step instructions here: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/discussion/18003/openvpn- step-by-step-setups-for-various-debian-based-linux-oss-with-videos- ubuntu-mint-debian . In short, the instructions tell you to: 1). Update/install packages like openvpn, network-manager, etc. 2). Download ovpn and crt files from the PIA website 3). Add them to network-manager and make a couple changes before saving. This procedure has worked for me in the past (as recently as a few weeks ago on 16.10 after the dnsmasq issue was corrected), but they are not working for me on 17.04. I imagine most of the settings you are interested in are located in the ovpn file that I imported, which I include below as an attachment. Since it's short, I'll also append the file info to the bottom of this message. Does this answer your questions? If not, I'm happy to add whatever other information you might need. I'm a pedestrian user of VPN, so you might need to be explicit in what command line instructions you need me to execute. Thanks! P.S. While it's of course possible that I'm just doing something stupid since installing 17.04, here is another recent result I found online where someone is experiencing new issues in 17.04: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/discussion/23756/pia-client- on-ubuntu-17-04-dns-leak, although they are using the official PIA client, whereas I am not. ----- [ovpn file info] client dev tun proto udp remote us-east.privateinternetaccess.com 1198 resolv-retry infinite nobind persist-key persist-tun cipher aes-128-cbc auth sha1 tls-client remote-cert-tls server auth-user-pass comp-lzo verb 1 reneg-sec 0 crl-verify crl.rsa.2048.pem ca ca.rsa.2048.crt disable-occ ** Attachment added: "US East.ovpn" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvpn/+bug/1685391/+attachment/4867468/+files/US%20East.ovpn -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1685391 Title: DNS leak in Xubuntu 17.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvpn/+bug/1685391/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
