I have this issue as well. However, the instructions given in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1624320/comments/57 do not solve the issue for me.

When connecting the strongswan VPN, I see that the /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf file is touched (the timestamp of the file changes), but the content does not change.

Automatic nor manual DNS servers in the VPN settings do work.

I tested manual modifying the /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf by changing the nameserver. This works once, but this change is not persisted, as the file is overwritten each time.

However the file /run/NetworkManager/no-stub-resolv.conf does contain the nameservers that are automatically provided by the VPN connection.

This solved the issue for me:
$ sudo rm /etc/resolv.d
$ sudo ln -s /run/NetworkManager/no-stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

I am running Ubuntu Desktop, not Ubuntu Server (if that is relevant).
