Hi! In the diff (agains 2.1_rc15) is the solution for the old* problem of (not) detecting default gateway on linux systems if it is a device route.
The patch is attached as a gzipped diff output to this mail message : http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.user/25117/focus=25127 (direct link to patch : http://cache.gmane.org//gmane/network/openvpn/user/25127-001.bin rename to patch.gz after download) It was tested by one affected user (Antonis Tsolomitis, see the thread "openvpn and ppp" on the openvpn-users list) If I forgor anything, ask. Regards, David *See mail list threads: "Redirect-gateway on dialup" <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.user/20407> "redirect-gateway + http-proxy + ppp problem" <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.user/20994> "Cannot redirect gateway after pppd connection" <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.user/23972> "openvpn and ppp" <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.user/25117> > -----Original Message----- > From: Antonis Tsolomitis [mailto:at...@aegean.gr] > Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2008 8:37 PM > To: David Balazic > Cc: Antonis Tsolomitis; openvpn-us...@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Openvpn-users] openvpn and ppp > > > Dear David, this binary works!!
