Bug Description

Lately, when I try to connect to a VPN, I get the default route changed to what the VPN sends, even when I have the option "use this connection only for resources on its network" active. This produces the side effect of being able to connect to the VPN servers, but not being able to access the rest of the Internet

It seems like a regression, as I have tried the same setup in an Ubuntu Wily VM and seems to work correctly.

I have a similar problem on Ubuntu 19.10. If "use this connection only for resources on its network" is inactive, everything is good, but I don't have access to the Internet. If this option is active, I don't have remote access to LAN, but the Internet is okay. I checked everything works fine on Windows.
