setting dns servers on Ubuntu via NetworkManager/dnsmasq
для пущей индексации пускай будет на английском.
While switching (to be honest - trying to switch, things not going smooth at all, like, while i'm writing this Ubuntu experienced internal error somewhere in kernel related to pulsadio, I guess this is echo of disabling audio on virtual machine properties of VirtualBox, but who knows ;) i've found that:
To help eliminate this shitty shit, one can use cli interface to dnsmasq via dbus, which still looks and feels weird, but at least works for static connections (i.e. when u know dns servers and them not gonna change). So my snippet is below:
#changedsnvpn.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo "changing dns for internal zones"
dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.dnsmasq /uk/org/thekelleys/dnsmasq uk.org.thekelleys.SetDomainServers array:string:'/localsuffix/10.0.4.1',"10.3.3.1","10.3.3.2"
where
/localsuffix/10.0.4.1 - is zonename/dns_server_ip_for_that_zone , so you can specify that requests for say, srv01.mycompany.localsuffix will go through that server.
"10.3.3.1","10.3.3.2" - the rest, catch all dns servers, like nearest to you, office ones.
the whole vpn startup script looks like:
#startvpn.sh
#!/bin/bash
cd /home/coolcold && tmux new-session -A -s ovpn 'sudo openvpn --route-up /home/coolcold/changedsnvpn.sh --script-security 2 --config user.ovpn'

- openvpn plugin for Network Manager usually works (though requiring several time to click on connection) I can connect to vpn, but can't disconnect.
- after switching from Unity to LXDE (both are not God blessed if u care) connection icon in system tray (or how linuxoids name it) doesn't show anything related to openvpn.
- using openvpn under Network Manager/Unity I was forced to switch default route via remote gateway, while that gateway didn't insist on such configuration.
