Could some of you check your config file: does it have an IP address for "remote"? Or a host name?

My openvpn config is as follows: no password; single user (i.e. not for everyone); remote site is an IP address first (our office wifi is VPN protected), then a hostname (when I'm connected to the internet).

I still have problems setting it up, but those may be related to my DNS setup being flakey. I see that first the DNS is dropped by Networkmanager; then is complains that it can't connect - well, how could you, without DNS :)

Please note that the DNS problem itself is not related, that is due to a local problem. But the result of it (i.e. DNS changing, then OpenVPN kicking in) could be experienced by others. You may want to check.
