Dear Maintainer,
I am experiencing a problem with establishing OpenVPN connections with Network
Manager, where the routing table is not set up correctly after the VPN tunnel
has been established. In previous stable version (Debian 8) this only occured
when using the KDE desktop but on upgrade to Debian version 9 it has started
happening when using Gnome 3 also - which still persists on update to testing.
Problem also exist on two other systems currently still on Debian 8 (KDE only),
and across two VPN providers.
Example of incorrect routing table:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
default dsldevice.lan 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0
10.8.8.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 50 0 0 tun0
5a.42.caa1.ip4. dsldevice.lan 255.255.255.255 UGH 100 0 0 eth0
link-local 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 1000 0 0 eth0
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 100 0 0 eth0
dsldevice.lan 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 100 0 0 eth0
Note default route is eth0, should be tun0. Manual alteration of routing table
is a viable work-around for the problem. Data leakage and efficacy of work-
around confirmed using wireshark.
Yours Sincerely,
Chris Pryor
