My ISP IP is leaking when using OpenVPN on Debian. On Ubuntu I added the following three lines to my config file which would update the DNS resolver and prevent leaks:
# Generated by NetworkManager
search Home
nameserver 192.168.1.1
I can edit this file or the file it links to (/var/run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf) and add my VPN's nameservers and the the leak will be fixed but this will be overwritten by the OS.
What is the proper and permanent way to fix a DNS leak in Debian?

You've opened two threads now, and have successfully resolved both issues on your own within a very short time with a little research.
Good for you!! Developing your own problem-solving skills is an incredibly valuable asset in life, on the job, etc.
And thank you very much for posting back your solutions! That's helpful to everyone.
If you'll allow me to offer two suggestions
1) Next time, maybe hold off on posting the question until you have completed your research. That will eliminate the need for a forum post in many cases, and when it doesn't, a good grounding in prior research will help you ask better, more focused questions and better understand the answers you receive.
2) Please mark your threads as [SOLVED] (Edit the subject line of your initial post.)
