Comment 13 for bug 994575

Thomas:

After rebooting here's the output you requested when connected via VPN...

ls -l /var/run/resolvconf/interface/:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 59 Jun 16 00:42 NetworkManager
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 48 Jun 16 00:42 ppp0

NetworkManager:
search {vpn search domain #1} {vpn search domain #2}
nameserver 127.0.0.1

ppp0:
nameserver {vpn dns server #1}
nameserver {vpn dns server #2}

/etc/resolv.conf:
nameserver {vpn dns server #1}
nameserver {vpn dns server #2}
nameserver 127.0.0.1
search {vpn search domain #1} {vpn search domain #2}

I connect to VPN through NM. Both OpenVPN and PPTP are installed according to synaptic, but it looks like pptp is the daemon connected to NetworkManager based on ps output below:

ps -ef | grep pptp
