Re: NetworkManager + OpenVPN + PIA DNS Leaking

So now I see the tcpdump using different values.. but they change when I'm connected/disconnected... see it using different DNS IPs... are the same when connected.

I have absolutely no idea what you are trying to say. Just show the exact commands and exact output.

Re: NetworkManager + OpenVPN + PIA DNS Leaking

After a long search, I found a non-obvious solution to this problem.

You just need set dns-priority parameter to negative value (-1) in the ipv4 section of VPN profile

/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<VPN Profile>

...
[ipv4]
dns-search=
dns-priority=-1
method=auto
...
