Thanks for your quick reply.

You get me wrong: network-manager OpenVPN plugin does exactly what it is supposed to do and enters/overwrites the VPN's DNS server into resolv.conf. That is 100% of what it should do (for me).

But, with network-manager having done that, fire up Firefox and get a server not found error. That is certainly, because Firefox does not access the correct DNS server in resolv.conf

The exact same is the issue with Evolution, server not found.

Somewhere something needs to refresh after network-manager has written the correct DNS to resolv.conf, so that the network apps like Firefox try to resolve DNS with the DNS server in resolv.conf

Kindly advise what your thoughts are. Thanks!
