Several years ago (when I was first struggling with getting the F5NAP to work directly[6]), I tried to find a headless alternative (e.g., something like a NetworkManager plugin), but was told by F5 that there was no such client for linux (at least, with the make/model of F5VPN that the agency had installed). 2. Several months ago (when linode.com was first recommended to me), I was sternly warned that linodes prefer to be run headless, and that running Firefox on a linode would be expensive and painful, if it worked at all. > I'm assuming ppp0 is the F5 VPN interface. Me, too: connecting to the F5VPN[2] creates that interface on the client, and disconnecting from the F5VPN removes it from the client. > Try deleting the first entry in the routing table after bringing up the F5 > VPN (something like 'route del default ppp0' if memory serves) will check > and see if it fixes the problem.
