[Solved] 17.3 OpenVPN dns problem - neph00 - 6th April 2017
After upgradeing to 17.3 i have this issue with OpenVPN, It disconnects after a mainute and i need to restert maui to connect again..for next minute and restart and so on..
I think its a problem with dns config, but i dont to what i have to fix.
I can say that before upgrade everthing was ok.

OK, i found solution on ubuntu forum. Its a bug in 16.10
1. Open /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf in an editor with root rights.
2. Delete (or comment out with a dash #) the line that reads dns=dnsmasq .
3. Restart NetworkManager via sudo service NetworkManager restart .

I don't understand. Maui is based on Ubuntu 16.04, isn't it?

16.04 and 16.10 use dnsmasq

maybe they are, but why i didnt have this issue before upgrading to 17.3? i thought that its based on 16.10 and thats was the cause, but if this bug is in both 16.04 and 16.10 then i dont understand why i had no issue earlier.

That is something I am not sure myself. Dnsmasq is used in both versions definitely.
I guess Ubuntu has pushed an update for 16.04 unrelated to the 17.03 release which caused it to break for you.
