openvpn and routes

["Teemu Ikonen" <tpikonen gmail com>]

Hi all,

I have an openvpn connection which in the 'native' (i.e. without
NetworkManager) configuration needs the '--redirect-gateway def1'
option. This sets up a default route with the gateway set to the
remote openvpn server. If I use the NetworkManager openvpn plugin
(0.6.3), a default route to the tap0 device is set, but without a
gateway, and my network does not work at all unless I set the route by
hand.

Since this kind of use case cannot be that uncommon, it would probably
make sense to include a checkbutton to the VPN setup gui which would
make the route to be set with the vpn gateway.

All the best,

Teemu
