This is a NM enhancement request, not really a bug. As a workaround, you should try to use the dispatcher.d feature (see comment #6 and #7 of bug 182011). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 182011 ***
The problem with this is that the bug is not so much as that one because the dispatcher script it doesn't gets called when I bring up my VPN, only when I connect or disconnect from Wireless and so.
Sorry to hear the workaround doesn't work for you. still, overriding resolv.conf is very much the expected behavior, since the DNS info comes from the vpn server on the other side. NM could provide options to add additional custom DNs info, and that's an enhancement requiest which is exactly what 182011 is about. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 182011 ***
