When I connect to my VPN using Network Manager, I end up with the wrong route table. Here's what I start with:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 After connecting, I get this: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 65.237.0.254 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0 The 65.237.0.254 (obfuscated) is my VPN server. I don't think it should appear in my route table. There's no reason for that. Also, the default route has been changed to ppp0. I don't want that. The nm-applet pretends to let me "ignore automatically obtained routes" but that doesn't affect the default route change. From my /var/log/messages file, I can see the endpoint of the tunnel: Dec 10 08:13:06 localhost pppd[5046]: local IP address 10.6.250.118 Dec 10 08:13:06 localhost pppd[5046]: remote IP address 10.6.250.25 I would expect the 10.6.250.25 to appear in the route table, if anything. Here's what I do manually to get back to normal: sudo route add -net 10.6.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 dev ppp0 sudo route add -net default gw 192.168.0.1 sudo route del -net default dev ppp0 Now I have: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 64.238.111.254 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 10.6.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 and all works fine. The nm-applet doesn't have a way to control my default route and won't let me route my private networks via an interface -- the routes I can add insist on an IP address for the gateway. Is this a bug? How can I manually configure my routes in a configuration file? -- Garry T.
