[Bug 1624317] Re: systemd-resolved breaks VPN with split-horizon DNS

[Christian Dysthe]

I am problems with the Fortclient SSL VPN client I need for work.
systemd-resolved overwrites the DNS entries set by the VPN client. The
connection is set up with Network-Manager. This worked fine in 16.04 and
works on Arch with the same VPN client. I do not know if this is exactly
the problem discusses here, but I am not able to use my VPN client
software on Ubuntu 16.10.

Title:
  systemd-resolved breaks VPN with split-horizon DNS

Status in systemd:
  New
Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I use a VPN configured with network-manager-openconnect-gnome in which
  a split-horizon DNS setup assigns different addresses to some names
  inside the remote network than the addresses seen for those names from
  outside the remote network.  However, systemd-resolved often decides
  to ignore the VPN’s DNS servers and use the local network’s DNS
  servers to resolve names (whether in the remote domain or not),
  breaking the split-horizon DNS.
