Public bug reported: Hi,
Currently in Ubuntu 16.04 network-manager-openvpn does not support the openvpn --max-routes switch. This means that per omission the VPN connection supports 100 routes that can be pushed by the openvpn server to the client. If the openvpn server pushes more 100 routes, which can happen in some cases, the VPN establishment fails. >From OpenVPN manual: "--max-routes n Allow a maximum number of n --route options to be specified, either in the local configuration file, or pulled from an OpenVPN server. By default, n=100." Can you do one of the following? - Fully support max-routes in the GUI, with an option to choose the value of the max-routes or, simpler: - Do not implement the max-routes in the GUI but add '--max-routes 500' for example for all openvpn connection establishments. I mean increase the number of maximum routes for all openvpn connections with network-manager. There is also a gnome bugzilla related to this issue which was recently closed with a patch: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=720097 When can we have the max-route implementation on network-manager-openvpn in ubuntu? mm:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS Release: 16.04 mm:~$ apt-cache policy network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn: Installed: 1.1.93-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.1.93-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1.1.93-1ubuntu1 500 500 http://pt.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/statusThanks, mm:~$ apt-cache policy network-manager-openvpn-gnome network-manager-openvpn-gnome: Installed: 1.1.93-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 1.1.93-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1.1.93-1ubuntu1 500 500 http://pt.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status mm:~$ apt-cache policy openvpn openvpn: Installed: 2.3.10-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 2.3.10-1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 2.3.10-1ubuntu2 500 500 http://pt.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Regards, Marco ** Affects: network-manager-openvpn (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: max-routes network-manager openvpn -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to network-manager-openvpn in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1617098 Title: network-manager-openvpn max-routes support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/1617098/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
