Commit aa34684972eb0 fixed a long-standing bug in setting the "route-list" flag RTSA_REMOTE_HOST for IPv4 ("we have a well-defined remote_host == VPN server IP address") even if connecting over IPv6.
Unfortunately the logic in redirect_default_route_to_vpn() was also wrong, and refused cooperation if that flag is not set, triggering the message "NOTE: unable to redirect IPv4 default gateway -- Cannot obtain current remote host address" Correct operation: if RTSA_REMOTE_HOST is not set, or remote_host is IPV4_INVALID_ADDR (= 255.255.255.255), do not try to install a host route for continued connectivity to the VPN server - which is not needed when connecting over IPv6. But the actual *routes* (/0 or 2 x /1) can be installed just fine. There is a second bug here, which hits if there is no IPv4 gateway at all. In that case, the same function triggers the message "NOTE: unable to redirect IPv4 default gateway -- Cannot read current default gateway from system" This is caused by using "IPV4_INVALID_ADDR" as a flag for "do we know the remote_host?" - which worked before, but after the commit said above, the "remote_host" field is not well-defined unless RTSA_REMOTE_HOST is set. So, change the condition to check that.
