[Bug 1086459] Re: VPN DNS Resolution Fails

[Thomas Hood]

If it is the case that, once connected to the VPN, you can resolve
Internet names but not VPN names, then you may be encountering bug
#1003842. In that case a good workaround is to disable the local
forwarding nameserver.

Here's how to disable the local forwarding nameserver.

Open a terminal.

In the terminal run

   sudo gedit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

In the gedit window, comment out the line "dns=dnsmasq" (put a '#'
character at the beginning of the line) and save the file. Then run

   sudo restart network-manager
