Fedora 30 with Openvpn and Wifi

In some cases when using Wifi and Openvpn DNS config is not configured well. check your /etc/resolv.conf In my case I should add

echo 'nameserver 10.5.0.1' >> /etc/resolv.conf

NOTE! nameserver 10.5.0.1 is random ip this case , check your dns server IP of VPN and replace this IP.
