DNS Profile Will Not Work After Connecting To VPN

[mssio]

After connecting to VPN then disconnect, DNS profile will not work until system restart. This happens in both Mac & iOS.

yeah you should report this to apple, it's unfortunate

I think its OK as VPN providers have own DNS servers which should you use!
If you don't trust your VPN provider just find a new one!

Also having this issue. @ghost your comment misinterprets the question - the profile continues not to work even after vpn connection ends

Doesn't work for me too, but only on Mac. On IOS everything is fine.

Did anyone create a ticket for that on Apple support to follow?

@paulmillr Since it's not a bug in .mobileconfig file I ask this issue be closed.
We cannot fix it only apple can so I vote to close it but it's up to you.

I've reported this to Apple

This issue seems to be fixed with iOS 16.

I'm not sure if this problem has been fixed now. Has anyone tested it?

I tested it just now, and it still doesn't work in iOS 17.6.1.

How did you guys know for sure that the profile didn't take effect? ​​I'd like to try testing it on the latest iOS, but I don't know what the expected effect would be.

If connected to a VPN iOS / macOS is using the DNS of the VPN.

Workaround would be to use a DNS Crypt Proxy like Little Snitch and or other tools.
