Bug Description
On Ubuntu 17.10 x64 I have noticed that when using the NetworkManager and OpenVPN, that DNS leaks from the Router or ISP, instead of only being tunneled from the VPN...
I have spent hours playing with this, it's beyond absurd, the amount of time and effort needed to try and resolve something that should be working out the box!
This is not LFS, or Slackware, in fact Slackware is simpler and easier to make this work in less then 5 mins!
Seriously this has been an ongoing issue for ages/years in Ubuntu, and the end-users typically for Ubuntu are inexperienced users, again, the only thing end-users should have to do is install the correct OpenVPN packages, configure OpenVPN in the NetworkManager and it works, but it doesn't!
While Canonical works on trying to resolve this, can someone PLEASE tell me a simple way in which to prevent DNS leaks while using OpenVPN through the NetworkManager?
THANKS
