Thread: Ubuntu 12.04 Automatic (VPN) addresses only ignored?

-

it seems ubuntu 12.04 ignoring directive in vpn configuration "automatic (vpn) addresses only". understand (and how worked before), option means don't pull dns config if selected.

have tried disabling dnsmasq per (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1968061)... i'm stilling getting vpn's nameserver in /etc/resolve.conf file.

scenario i'm vpn home network work, , want access local devices, don't need browse web or dns through it.

worked fine before, dns requests taking ages whenever i'm connected vpn.

it possible vpn nameserver address being included statically in resolv.conf. can happen if upgraded earlier version of ubuntu , upgrade process decided create symbolic link /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail -> original. if symbolic link exists , /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original contains nameserver address on vpn should following.

1. make sure nameserver addresses , search paths in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original have been entered appropriate fields either in networkmanager connection details dialog (if using networkmanager) or in /etc/network/interfaces (if using ifup).

2. replace symlink symlink /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail -> /dev/null

3. either deconfigure , configure interfaces or reboot.
