Problem with vpn connection

[Jetchko Jekov <jetchko jekov gmail com>]

Hi guys,

I have following problem:

I am trying to setup openvpn connection to VPN server accessible not via default gateway.

Wnen NM configures vpn connection it sets the route to VPN server's IP address wrongly via default gateway.

Here is an example:

 - before activating VPN connection my routing table looks like this:

default via 192.168.13.1 dev br0  proto static  metric 425  
10.0.0.0/8 dev vpn0  proto kernel  scope link  src 10.144.204.250  metric 50  
10.39.49.28 dev vpn0  proto static  scope link  src 10.144.204.250  metric 425  
172.21.0.0/24 dev virbr0  proto kernel  scope link  src 172.21.0.1 linkdown  
192.168.13.0/24 dev br0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.13.11  metric 425  
194.251.119.216 via 192.168.13.1 dev br0  proto static  metric 425

(yes, the vpn I am trying to connect to is accessible via another vpn (split-vpn) connection established in advance, but I guess this doesn't matter)

Now, when I activate openvpn connection to server with address 192.167.3.254 accessible via http proxy at 10.39.49.28,

and after successful connection my routing table look like this:

default via 192.168.13.1 dev br0  proto static  metric 425  
10.0.0.0/8 dev vpn0  proto kernel  scope link  src 10.144.204.250  metric 50  
10.39.49.28 via 192.168.13.1 dev br0  proto static  metric 425  
172.21.0.0/24 dev virbr0  proto kernel  scope link  src 172.21.0.1 linkdown  
192.167.0.0/16 via 192.167.15.1 dev tun0  proto static  metric 50  
192.167.15.0/24 dev tun0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.167.15.66  metric 50  
192.168.13.0/24 dev br0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.13.11  metric 425  
194.251.119.216 via 192.168.13.1 dev br0  proto static  metric 425

The problem is 3rd line. I have no idea why NM sets route this wrong way.

If correct this route manually to

10.39.49.28 dev vpn0  proto static  scope link  src 10.144.204.250  metric 425

everything works as expected

The question is: Have I missconfigured something on my end or NM (or openvpn plugin) is broken in this regard.

NetworkManager-1.2.4-1.fc24.x86_64 

NetworkManager-openvpn-1.2.4-2.fc24.x86_64
