A simple workaround is to edit your VPN connection (via NM) and set up static DNS, for example using Google servers:

8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4

This way, the DNS request is sent through an external IP, hence it is routed using the VPN. If you were using the default DNS from your router (probably an internal IP like 192.168.x.y) then the DNS request would go outside the VPN.

I just discovered that Google provides also IPv6 servers, by searching for "IPv6 DNS Servers" on DuckDuckGo (a very convenient table of DNS servers by provider shows up).
