@MarkusUlm the script is meant to reset the DNS to only include the 2 default DNS of your VPN. Onlu that. I have the defautl route set up correctly. But I still have the other default route set for the network LAN so I have updated my script like this

#!/bin/sh

interface=$1
status=$2

First you need to change the DNS server IP

and second change the default router IP to be deleted and re added when VPN is down.

I delete the default route because I end up with 2 default route even if it does not cause problem.
