Network takes very long, VPN must be toggled twice to activate

Hey,

my boot time is usually < 10 sec, but the network connection takes about 2 minutes to fully establish.

I connect via LAN and use pdnsd as a DNS caching service, which itself uses TOR to resolve requests. NetworkManager is then used to toggle my VPN when needed. When my connection is finally established and I want to use my VPN, I must connect to my VPN, de- and reactivate the LAN connection and connect to the VPN again, in order to actually be connected via VPN.

[klemens@arch-pc ~]$ systemd-analyze critical-chain

                    └─system.slice @98ms
                      └─-.slice @98ms

Can anybody tell me what causes this strange behaviour? It did not always take that much time, but I can't tell when it changed.

My /var/log/journal doesn't even exist, as /var/log/ gets mounted as ramfs in RAM on boot.

No idea? Any hint what causes this need of reactivation for the VPN connection?
