My use case is specific but not isolated. When I’m at work, I’m connected to my VPN at home. I have a specific DNS at home for my domain in deimos.lan and this is very useful to avoid me to remind all the IP of the services I have.

I got problems like this: Failed to get D-Bus connection: No connection to service manager. And hopefully I found very good documentations on Internet (and especially on Arch wiki). I’ve made a summary on my wiki if you want to know how to diagnose a Systemd issue.
