Openconnect on Fedora 29

As of 7 Dec 2018, this is fixed in the vpnc-script package in the updates repo. Version 20171004-4.git6f87b0f or later.

As of Nov 2018, openconnect appears to be broken on Fedora 29. When you connect to a VPN, the DNS servers are not updated and hence any hosts over the VPN will not resolve.

This has been reported on bugzilla but in the meantime the following fix works.

Create a copy of /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script to apply fixes.

cp /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script-fixed

Comment out the lines about resolvconf:

Then supply this as an argument to openconnect:

/usr/sbin/openconnect -s /etc/vpnc/vpnc-script-fixed <args> hostname
