I agree with Andreas; this is a bug in openvpn. I have local office
gateway servers with an internal PCI ADSL modem that runs embedded Linux
and is configured in RFC 1483 LLC Bridge mode. The Host PC uses PPPoE to
connect to the ISP via the embedded ADSL modem over the single ATM LLC
available
I've attached the shell script for PPP so it can be downloaded. It
should be put in the directory /etc/ppp/if-up.d/ and given execute
permissions:
sudo mv ~/Downloads/default-gateway /etc/ppp/if-up.d/
sudo chmod +x /etc/ppp/if-up.d/default-gateway
** Attachment added: PPP default-gateway script
I've added the PPP package to this bug since it would the appropriate
place to ship the workaround and, as far as I can see, shouldn't upset
any existing PPP configurations.
It would actually save our users a lot trouble especially for those
using portable devices over public WiFi or cellular
Correction! I mistyped the PPP directory name as iF-up.d when it
should be iP-up.d. The instructions should be:

Hi Andreas,
Thank you for taking the time to report bugs and trying to make Ubuntu
Server better.
Unfortunately, this doesn't really seem like a bug of OpenVPN but rather
ppp is probably not setting the default gateway when it should. Reading
[1], we can confirm that OpenVPN *needs* the default
Hi Andres,
yes, OpenVPN needs a default route, and that route already exists. But
you're mixing up route and gateway. PPP by definition does not need to
specify a gateway, because all packets travel through the peer.
To function properly, OpenVPN should create a host route through ppp0.
