It accepts the gateway and will work as expected, but every time I edit the connection afterward, I have to re-fill in my gateways on every individual route again - per connection.

Thus, if you edit a connection to have gateway 0.0.0.0, next time when revisiting the connection the gateway is cleared. ThomasThat is true, but when I edit it again, it requires me to re-enter 0.0.0.0 before I can save it. Would it be possible to add this as a feature request to not have to add a gateway address (for manually enetered routes) at all in the GUI?doesn't happen to me. Either I am testing something different then you, or you are using an older version of the GUI, where a bug got fixed recently. Can you describe exactly where you are clicking? And which nm- connection-editor version are you using? Or is it gnome-control-center? Thomas
This behaviour just started happening. When you first told me of the 0.0.0.0 gateway option on VPN connections, it did not do this. NetworkManager-wwan-1.4.4-3.fc25.x86_64 NetworkManager-1.4.4-3.fc25.x86_64 NetworkManager-openconnect-1.2.4-3.fc25.x86_64 NetworkManager-openvpn-1.2.6-1.fc25.x86_64 NetworkManager-pptp-gnome-1.2.4-1.fc25.x86_64 NetworkManager-team-1.4.4-3.fc25.x86_64 NetworkManager-glib-1.4.4-3.fc25.x86_64 NetworkManager-vpnc-1.2.4-1.fc25.x86_64 NetworkManager-libnm-1.4.4-3.fc25.x86_64 NetworkManager-adsl-1.4.4-3.fc25.x86_64 NetworkManager-vpnc-gnome-1.2.4-1.fc25.x86_64 NetworkManager-wifi-1.4.4-3.fc25.x86_64 NetworkManager-config-connectivity-fedora-1.4.4-3.fc25.x86_64 NetworkManager-openconnect-gnome-1.2.4-3.fc25.x86_64 NetworkManager-bluetooth-1.4.4-3.fc25.x86_64 NetworkManager-pptp-1.2.4-1.fc25.x86_64 NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome-1.2.6-1.fc25.x86_64 Like the pic shows, it now makes me fill in the gateway address 0.0.0.0 again every time I edit the connection. This happens on VPN connections as well as ethernet profiles in this version. You are correct though - if I use nm-connection-editor, the issue is not there. Looks like an issue with gnome-control-center - do I need to punt this their direction? Thanks, Greg
