Thanks for the research on this guys. I had been a idle spectator to the systemd controversies, but didn't realize that I might be bumping up into those choices in a real way myself.
Attached is my systemd-resolve --status. I imagine it shows what you are talking about.
And I also went ahead and tried to switch to dnsmasq and see if that fixed the problem. Unfortunately, it seems that I may need to do something different to actually shut down systemd-resolved. I tried those instructions with a restart, and systemd-resolved was still running. I tried those instructions without a restart, but either systemd-resolved started up again by itself or perhaps by me reconnecting to my VPN via network-manager. I did confirm that systemd-resolved was at some point disabled after executing the commands in step #2 of those instructions, but not sure what started it up again.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but DNS leaking via systemd related issues should be a pretty high priority bug, correct? If it's not the case, and your sense is that there are a lot of technical or political hurdles to this being corrected, perhaps it makes sense for me to return to 16.04 in the meantime.
