zurround 0 Posted ... On Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS, with humminbird version 1.1.1, after ending the VPN session, my DNS is shot, and I don't know how to restore it other than rebooting. I had no problem with an earlier version of hummingbird. I tried the AirVPN Suite. Same problem. The attached file contains the output of hummingbird. The assertion at the end "Successfully restored DNS settings" is not correct. I would be happy enough if you could tell me where to look for the DNS settings, or how to restore them manually. hummingbird.log Quote Share this post Link to post

Staff 9972 Posted ... @zurround Hello! If the problem persists, can you please send us the output of the following commands before you run the suite (when everything works) during the connection (while the system is connected successfully to the VPN) after the connection (while the problem is ongoing) cat /etc/resolv.conf resolvectl Open a terminal, and enter the above commands (in each of the above situations), then select and copy everything, finally paste into your message. Kind regards Quote Share this post Link to post

Also tried the recovery, without success (as expected, since /etc/airvpn was already empty): $ sudo hummingbird --recover-network Hummingbird - AirVPN OpenVPN 3 Client 1.1.1 - 7 January 2020 It seems this program has properly exited in its last run and it has already restored network settings on exit. Network recovery is not needed. Quote Share this post Link to post
Staff 9972 Posted ... @zurround Thank you! Problem detected and reproduced. Hummingbird and Bluetit rely on the ability of the system to change on the fly the global DNS settings. This is possible in most systems, Linux included. However, resolved seems unable to do that. It appears that every and each time someone needs to change global DNS on Linux when systemd-resolved works in any mode bypassing resolv.conf, she must stop and start systemd-resolved, forcing it to re-read the configuration. A workaround fixing the problem will be included in the next, imminent AirVPN Suite release. In the meantime you can quickly fix the problem, you don't need to reboot. You can save time by re-starting systemd-resolved when you are done using AirVPN Suite: sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved Alternatively, you can consider to not use systemd-resolved.

zurround 0 Posted ... to my great regret, the suggested solution (sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved) did not restore my DNS. As for not using systemd-resolved... I am using the default settings of Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS, and don't understand well enough (at all?) DNS resolution mechanisms to solve my problem, let alone use something else. Thanks anyway. Do you have any other debugging suggestion I might apply? Quote Share this post Link to post
