[Openvpn-devel] Disable --redirect-gateway

[Tim N. <gm...@ni...>]

Hi OpenVPN developers.

I wrote a small plug-in that integrates OpenVPN into NetworkManager (see
http://www.niemueller.de/software/patches/networkmanager.php or
NetworkManager CVS at http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager/).

Someone pointed out that OpenVPN 2.1 will use the --redirect-gateway by
default. Since this is something that NM does by itself we would like to
have an option to completely disable this feature.

Is there a chance to get a "disable" flag to the --redirect-gateway
flags or a --no-redirect-gateway flag that can be used to get the old
behaviour? Working with your changes would either mean changing a lot of
code in NM, which is unlikely, or a manual workaround that we delete the
routes that OpenVPN created, which is pretty useless if there is
something as simple as a "disable" flag that could solve this right away.

What do you think, is there a chance to get that flag? Would you accept
an appropriate patch?

	Tim
