@mubtcez: to use the OpenVPN server's pushed DNS servers, add this to your .conf file:

    script-security 2
    up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
    down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf

If you want to use your own DNS servers, add the above plus a line for each DNS server:

    dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Old link no more available, also waiting on feedback if still reproducible especially following the guidance of bitinerant

Greetings, I realize this is an old bug, but I am attempting to get a current list of active issues that need attention.

I took a look at the old Ask Ubuntu question using the internet archive [1]. Based on the findings there and the suggestion in this bug on using 'dhcp-option' I believe there is not enough information to say this is actually a bug in Ubuntu.

If the original reporter could retry on a currently supported release and get back to us as to if it is still an actual issue, with additional information, then additional triage could occur on the bug report.

Thanks!
