Package: network-manager-openvpn Version: 0.8.1-1 Severity: normal
This very same issue still exists in the current version of this package in squeeze. When the openvpn connection is started via a shell script, all routing is applied as it should be, and the default gateway remains unchanged. When the same connection is started via network-manager, the default gateway is changed by nm, and that is ***BAD***, since it breaks the user's access to the Internet. This renders the openvpn plugin effectively useless, as no combination of options changes this behaviour. For now I will revert back to using shell scripts. Since this bug has not seen any updates or even acknowledgement from the package maintainers, I wonder whether this will get any attention at all? -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages network-manager-openvpn depends on: ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.24-4+squeeze1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.88-2.1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libnm-glib-vpn1 0.8.1-6+squeeze1 network management framework (GLib ii libnm-glib2 0.8.1-6+squeeze1 network management framework (GLib ii libnm-util1 0.8.1-6+squeeze1 network management framework (shar ii openvpn 2.1.3-2 virtual private network daemon network-manager-openvpn recommends no packages. network-manager-openvpn suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-openvpn-service.conf changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
