Raw message 

Hi Tim,

Thanks for looking into it even on weekend. Really appreciate it.

PFA 3 files.

CLIENT  MACHINE LOGS
=========================
*grase_client_ubuntu1_host.txt* : These logs are collected from an ubuntu  
grase-client machine running on ubuntu desktop 14.04.1 LTS and  this 
directly running on hardware (i.e. no VM is involved).

*grase_ubuntu_client_vm.txt :* These logs are collected from a vm running 
ubuntu desktop on host machine operating system windows 8. 
===============================

GRASE SERVER LOGS
====================

*logs_grase_bfr_after_dns_change.docx* : these logs are collected from 
grase server . Again no virtual machine is involved here.

Just to summarize another observation(in case I have failed to mention it 
before) 
1.After changing dns servers 
2. Restarting chilli
3. Restarting dnsmasq 

tunn0 disappears and it only reappears when ADMIN PANEL -> NETWORK SETTINGS 
shows an alert "settings match running config" 
(Once we have restarted the services from console, this alert comes up 
after about 5 minutes).

Regards
Sheena
