[Trent Lloyd]

Sponsors: Can we get this debdiff uploaded now? We've had a few more
reports and I'd like to get this workaround in place.

Bug description:
  On 18.04 Openconnect connects successfully to any of multiple VPN
  concentrators but network traffic does not flow across the VPN tunnel
  connection. When testing on 16.04 this works flawlessly. This also
  worked on this system when it was on 17.10.

  I have tried reducing the mtu of the tun0 network device but this has
  not resulted in me being able to successfully ping the IP address.

  Example showing ping attempt to the IP of DNS server:

  ~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf 
  # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)
  #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
  # 127.0.0.53 is the systemd-resolved stub resolver.
  # run "systemd-resolve --status" to see details about the actual nameservers.

  nameserver 172.29.88.11
  nameserver 127.0.0.53
