It is a connection manager.
But behind the scenes it rewrites resolv.conf,
and takes over DNS lookup.
It has its own DNS cache.
I have searched in vain for a way to erase its cache.

if I edit resolv.conf, I can bypass its DNS lookup by sending
lookups directly to, say, 1.1.1.1.
But this should not be necessary.
