Hi I don't think it was ever possible in NM to specify a special gateway that translates to the dynamically received address. -- that is, openvpn understands special gateways "vpn_gateway" or "net_gateway". NetworkManager does not, and didn't in the past either. When configuring routes in general (be it using iproute2 or by adding a static route in NetworkManager), you can specify as gateway 0.0.0.0. That means, the destination is directly reachable in the network, not via a gateway. 0.0.0.0 is a valid and common gateway setting, both for NetworkManager, kernel and iproute2. Note, if you do ip route add 10.0.0.0/8 dev tun0 it is mostly the same as configuring a gateway 0.0.0.0 on tun0 device. It really depends on the details of your setup, but for example if you are using openvpn with a tun device, there is only IP routing involved. In such a setup, the gateway address that you configure for your routes, is only used on your machine to find the proper destination. Once you send the IP package over the VPN tunnel, the gateway is no longer part of the package (and the other side wouldn't care about the gateway address). In such a setup the actual address doesn't matter. 0.0.0.0 should work just fine. With openvpn and a tap device, this might be different. short answer: try 0.0.0.0 Thomas
