KVPNC destroys internet connection
I was using my computer normally, then started up kvpnc to remote into a system. On disconnecting from kvpnc and closing the program, my internet connection would not work -- no sites loaded. Two restarts didn't help. I then opened the program and connected, which let me post this. But I don't always want to use it!

What can I do to fix this?

The outputs of ifconfig -a and route -n when your connection is broken would be useful.

Oddly, this time, I was able to load Google (but not other sites). Why might that be? That makes it seem more like a DNS issue than anything else.

You may be right. That doesn't look too broken. What's in /etc/resolv.conf?
