[mdlug] Most internet Applications not working when VPN connection is established

[Jim Fulner]

Well that certainly does exist. NOw what do do with it? 

I tried just running the cript while I was connected to VPN, no change. 

I then opened the script file in a text editor and it had mentione of
editing openvpn*.conf with the update-resolve-conf script. 

I don't know where the conf for openvpn lives, so I tried doin a find
and got nothing.
