Description

The dispatch system tests (e.g. system_tests_management) run very slowly when connected to a VPN.

• about 10x slower on VPN configured to use TCP connection
• about 5x slower on VPN configured for UDP connection

Wireshark shows unexpected LDAP and DNS queries on the VPN interface. `wallace` below is the local host name, but is not mentioned in any tests so must be picked up by proton or dispatch at runtime:

1	0.000000000	10.3.113.108	10.11.6.1	LDAP	242	searchRequest(11) "dc=redhat,dc=com" wholeSubtree 
2	0.035161000	10.3.113.108	10.5.30.160	DNS	72	Standard query 0xd03f  A wallace.lab.bos.redhat.com
