NetworkManager/dnsmasq does not set the DNS servers given by openvpn server when I connect. I can see in my syslog that I do receive the name servers correctly along with all the routes:

Apr 16 08:14:09 homer NetworkManager[4014]: <info> Internal DNS: 192.168.11.90
Apr 16 08:14:09 homer NetworkManager[4014]: <info> Internal DNS: 192.168.11.190

However they are not used:
oscar@homer:~$ nmcli -f IP4 dev list | grep DNS
IP4.DNS[1]: 192.168.0.1
oscar@homer:~$

(That is my default DNS/Gateway and it should still be queried for all DNS queries outside of VPN network)

If I comment out dns=dnsmasq in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and oc restart NetworkManager all DNS start to work properly again, VPN DNS's are used for those resources on the VPN network and others through my default DNS. Let me know if I kan provide further info about this issue.
