You are probably writing about the anonymization of the client - which

the connection specifies the target VPN server somehow (I called it
gw.mujsrv.org), but the NM OpenVPN client tries to connect to
1a9107897c24.gw.mujsrv.org, 3abc1fd99dff.gw.mujsrv.org,
85f0005caa82.gw.mujsrv.org, f6046c7831be.gw.mujsrv.org, ... - which,
of course, isn't DNS resolvable and thus the connection cannot be
established at all.
And I don't understand why it does that ;)

The only situation I can see this being useful is if the vpn server has a dynamic address and a wildcard domain, so that you can force a DNS lookup avoiding any cached values. But that seems like a very unlikely situation.
