SUMMARY AWS's managed VPN offering, "AWS Client VPN" uses this feature. I can't connect using the graphical UI for NetworkManager as it doesn't pass the appropriate flag along. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 NetworkManager Version: 1.32.12 NetworkManager-openvpn Version: 1.8.16 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION From OpenVPN's documentation: --remote-random-hostname Prepend a random string (6 bytes, 12 hex characters) to hostname to prevent DNS caching. For example, "foo.bar.gov" would be modified to "<random-chars>.foo.bar.gov". PR for GNOME, not sure if this is particularly useful: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/NetworkManager-openvpn/-/merge_requests/23
