I am running into DNS issues with OpenVPN as well. When connected `dig ddg.gg` fails, but `dig ddg.gg @8.8.8.8` works. This started after running updates yesterday.

I can't tell if bug #1667825 is the same issue, but I get the same problem regardless of whether I start OpenVPN from the command line or via the Network-Manager. (I'm not sure if the latter makes the connection 'managed' or not.)

Can this issue be scaled up in importance if confirmed? Users not being able to use a VPN service (e.g., in a place with free public wifi) is a huge security risk!
