I need to access resources (via ssh) which require me to connect to their VPN server. They have provided me with a config file to use.
Case 1:
I use sudo openvpn --config path-to-ovpn-config and later on ssh to their server with no issues.
Case 2:
I import the config file to my network manager (GUI) and connect to the VPN server. I need to enter password every time because they use dynamic password based on phone app (So I have set it to ask password each time). I enter the password and it gets connected (I used a wrong password to check if it actually is getting verified and it is getting verified). Now when I ssh to their server I get Could not resolve hostname server-address: Temporary failure in name resolution.
How to make it work with the network manager (GUI) and what is wrong with it in the first place?
Details:
OS - Kubuntu 18.10 with Plasma 5.14
OpenVPN 2.4.6 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
I tried some answers mentioned here which obviously did not work - OpenVPN connecting but no internet access on Ubuntu 14.04 / 16.04

Output of host www.ebay.com -
1. Without VPN -
www.ebay.com is an alias for slot9428.ebay.com.edgekey.net.
slot9428.ebay.com.edgekey.net is an alias for e9428.b.akamaiedge.net.
e9428.b.akamaiedge.net has address 104.65.228.43
2. With VPN (From network manager) -
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
Like I have mentioned previously using VPN with sudo openvpn --config path-to-ovpn-config gives the output same as that without VPN case for host www.ebay.com.
