Stared-at-code ("looks reasonable"). Getting rid of netsh.exe calls is
a good thing.
Actually tested! MinGW builds, on a Win10 system, running openvpn.exe
from a "cmd.exe run as administrator" window, so no iservice involved -
OpenVPN tells me "IPv6 route added using ipapi", and "route print -6"
looks good.
There is something incorrect in the log, though - I connect via IPv6,
and OpenVPN needs to install a redirect host route due to "gateway and
pushed route overlaps". It is installed correctly, that is, the /128
route points to the LAN interface and that IPv6 default route (fe80::1),
but the log says
add_route_ipv6(2001:608:8003::200/128 -> fe80::1 metric 1) dev LAN-Verbindung 2
IPv6 route added using ipapi
add_route_ipv6(2001:608:8003::/48 -> 2001:608:8003:f:98::1 metric -1) dev
LAN-Verbindung 2
IPv6 route added using ipapi
In "route show -6", the first route ends up on "If 8 ... Intel Pro/100" and
the second route on "If 2 ... TAP-Windows Adapter V9 #2" - which is both
correct, but only the second is "dev LAN-Verbindung 2". So it seems to
always print the name of the TAP adapter here - which is misleading at
best.
I have also tested "not run as administrator", and it will correctly
error out with
"ROUTE: route addition failed using ipapi: Zugriff verweigert [status=5
if_index=2]"
(if it gets there at all :-) - without --ifconfig-noexec, it fails
IPv6 ifconfig/netsh already, and never proceeds to route addition -
which actually brings up the observation that there's netsh.exe calls
left, "netsh.exe interface ipv6 set address 2 2001:608:..." :-) )
