Description
Possible OpenVPN bug.
https://forums.openvpn.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=30726

Problem:
Sometimes, after an unexpected reboot, there is a chance that the windows computer will stop resolving any dns names on any network other than the organization's network. When connecting, the system writes the message "No internet" in the connection status. This is possible with both domain computers and off-domain computers, with windows 10 and 8 (possibly others too). This problem cannot be solved by resetting network settings, manually naming the dns server, reinstalling the openvpn connect client.
Resolution:
Delete the hive in the registry at HKLM:
SYSTEM \ ControlSet001 \ Services \ Dnscache \ Parameters \ DnsPolicyConfig? \ OpenVPNDNSRouting-0
Hope this helps someone

This is indeed about OpenVPN Connect. Its service code has a logic which removes those keys on startup.

Closing since this is not about open source project, you can get support for OpenVPN connect here https://openvpn.net/vpn-server-resources/support-options-for-openvpn/
Google finds an older forum posts for that as well:
https://forums.openvpn.net/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=27477
and this suggests that this is something OpenVPN Connect does, not Community OpenVPN (it's the first time I hear about this).
