[Solved] NetworkManager fails to connect to VPN with openconnect

I'm having problems connecting to an openconnect VPN with networkmanager-openconnect. Connecting manually with the openconnect client works fine.

I've tried tracing the problem myself, and so far I've learnt that connecting manually adds a nameserver to resolve.conf, which connecting via NetworkManager doesn't do.

Output from journalctl -u openconnect -u NetworkManager:

I've tried to hide personal info and IP addresses from the post, but I don't think I masked anything important. I just changed addresses and names.

Re: [Solved] NetworkManager fails to connect to VPN with openconnect

Problem inexplicably solved itself with an update over the past couple of days. Possibly a systemd or a kernel update?
