I like this idea. It definitely would be helpful for ethernet and wifi
devices where the user only wants to connect to the lan and not have a
default route set. It may have relevance to a GSM or CDMA connection(PPP
connections in general) if the user is only using that connection to run a
vpn over, but I am not sure.
This would also be useful on VPN connections. Currently when NM establishes
a VPN connection it makes it the default route. Sometimes this is
appropriate, sometimes not. When I use a VPN (e.g. over 3G) I normally want
the default route to remain the public 3G network, not route everything via
the VPN server.
The proposed 'local' flag would also solve this problem (provided it were
available on VPN connections). If implemented I think it should be offered
on all connection types - if you assume no-one has a need on, say, WiFi,
pretty soon you'll find someone who does!
