I tested a second free public VPN service (of dozens)...

With #dns=dnsmasq disabled in NetworkManager.conf, and using one of the 
many mofolinux DNS servers for the USA, I get the following from DIG 
(which is expected)

$ dig redhat.com | grep SERVER
;; SERVER: 10.211.254.254#53(10.211.254.254)

And, from the leaktest at https://www.dnsleaktest.com I get what appears 
to be a DNS server assigned by that free public VPN service, which is a 
good thing (I think).    

http://i62.tinypic.com/257q89c.jpg

So, I think it's working the way it should in that 'dig' is reporting good
stuff, and the dns leaktest isn't showing any dns leaks.

$ vpntest.sh
                  ISP: AS31939 DirecPath, LLC

               DNS IP: 10.211.254.254
