[Bug 113622] Re: PPTP plugin for network manager sets wrong routing table entries
Below are three connection attempts which failed the first time to properly connect to the VPN-server. Most often the default route is not set properly and when hung up not all routing entries were always deleted.

[Bug 113622] Re: PPTP plugin for network manager sets wrong routing table entries
Hey everyone,
i'm sorry, i don't know about the current status of the initial bug
reported as several different workcases have mingled here since then,
and my nm7.0 has already become old (testing portage tree of gentoo)
the original bug was, as i understood:
the route to the PPTP server has to pass over a (local) gateway, f.ex.
192.168.178.1 in my case. when nm-pptp is connected to the server it resets the
default route to point to the pptp server (correct behaviour as no specific
routing info is configured).
But doesn't set a host route to the pptp server which would use the
original (local) gateway, so that the connection between pptp-client and
server is severed and expires after a timeout.
This bug still applies to my nm-pptp installation (networkmanager pptp
0.7.0).
It can be solved, by a script in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/50-nm-vpn.sh:
[ ${6:0:8} = nm-pptp- ] || exit 0 # makes sure we only touch nm-pptp-
connections
VPNNAME=$(ps -C pppd -o args= | cut -d ' ' -f 4)# obtains the hostname or
ip of the pptp-server (will not work with multiple connections!!!)
VPNIP=$(ping -c1 $VPNNAME | grep PING | sed 's/^[^(]*(\([^)]*\)).*$/\1/') #
resolves its ip
ip route add $(ip route get $VPNIP | sed 's/^\(.*\)cache.*$/\1/') # corrects
the routing info
which uses 'ip route get ip of the pptp server' to find the correct
routing configuration to reach the server.

[Bug 113622] Re: PPTP plugin for network manager sets wrong routing table entries
Some News From Intrepid, I guess the fix didn't make it into the final release. With a routing entry I can get HTTP traffic to be routed through the default gateway. As tested by external IP address checkers correctly reporting my (and not my office IP address). With the VPN running I can use remote desktop protocols to machines on the office subnet (192.168.57.150) so that has to be working too. However, HTTP traffic is slower (i.e. web pages take longer to load) with the VPN running despite being routed via the default gateway. In addition one particular subnet address, that of the VPN server and office router (192.168.57.2), gets routed via my default gateway (192.168.15.5). The attached file shows my routing after issuing route in terminal with and without the VPN running. IP of the office X'd out for security reasons only, it showed the correct address. My routing table entry in the VPN is address = 192.168.57.0 Prefix = 24. My understanding is that any traffic to any IP address starting 192.168.57.XXX should be routed via the VPN. Why is traffic to 192.168.57.2 being directed over the default gateway, but traffic to other IP addresses in the subnet is correctly trafficked via the ppp0. Is this a bug in the VPN's routing table or some more global routing issue. Could my browser be using the VPN connection to resolve DNS thus slowing down web access? If so why. ** Attachment added: Text File of Routing Table http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19252598/Routing%20Table -- PPTP plugin for network manager sets wrong routing table entries https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113622 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 113622] Re: PPTP plugin for network manager sets wrong routing table entries
I have the exact same problem with NetworkManager, network-manager-pptp and Ubuntu Hardy. Problem summary: NM creates bad routing entries, where all packages are forwarded to the VPN server as a gateway instead of the PPTP tunnel endpoint. Funny thing is, if you correct the routing table by hand, e.g. route add default gw tunnel_ep_IP, it will work for a couple of requests, but after a while the custom entry will be purged from the routing table and you will have to enter it again... Plus, if you repeat this procedure a couple of times, sooner or later the networking will break down completely with the error message: SIOCADDRT: No such process only a restart of the NM process will fix this from there on. Looks to me as if NM+PPTP is fundamentally broken in Ubuntu.

My problem now (Ubuntu + Xubuntu 7.10) is quite the same - I got Network-Manager-PPTP working correctly - the tunnel is established, but it eats the rest of my Internetconnection - I found a post, where it is described to work correctly by unchecking Use Peer DNS, Exclusive Device Lock, Peer DNS through Tunnel. This does not work for me in Version 7.10. I unchecked all three points, but still all traffic goes through the tunnel - and as soon as I want to choose under Routing Only use VPN connection for theses addresses and add just one number or letter - the apply butten is not any more available. Generally I want to say, that choosing networkmanager-pptp instead of pptpconfig was a very bad decison - it was working perfectly - you cold choose the routing - edit the network routes - all perfect and with this stupid thing you can do nothing and nothing works! On distributions that support NetworkManager, pptpconfig is deprecated in favour of the PPTP Plugin for Network Manager.

Almost: it is possible to create a routing entry using the dialog so that specific addresses are routed through the tunnel. But additionally it creates a wrong routing entry like this (which tries to route the pptp server over the gateway): 172.16.3.253 172.16.3.254 255.255.255.255 UGH 0 0 0 eth0 which is wrong and has to be deleted (route del 172.16.3.253) and replaced by an entry for the interface: route add 172.16.3.253 dev eth0 resulting in: 172.16.3.253 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0 Only after doing these two steps manually it is possible to use the pptp interface.

[Bug 113622] Re: PPTP plugin for network manager sets wrong routing table entries
Craig, are you thinking of one of the two options on the routing tab? I think neither of them does delete the wrong route and sets the correct one so that after the connection is established it would be indeed usable. But since exactly this is the desired behaviour for the main use case (click connect and just use the connection) I would call this a bug. The average ubuntu user just sees the current behaviour as not working. Ideally when connecting the routes should be set correctly and there could be an option under the mentioned routing tab to disable the automatic route setting so that expert users that do not want other connections to be interrupted have the possibility to configure the desired behaviour. In the current state the behaviour is unfriendly for the average user that does not know anything about routing but friendly to experts that certainly know how to do things manually anyway. And since there is no explanation or warning message that the connection is not yet usable and more steps have to be taken for this, it is indeed a bug because the behaviour is quite far from the expected one.

Okay, I can agree with calling it not a bug, but it is definatelly a missing feature which makes Ubuntu hard to use for noobs. The problem is that people have to set the route manually (e.g. by invoking an extra script, in time withing 60 secs) after connecting to the WLAN with the plugin.

The destination address is 64.69.223.27. I would think there should be a route on ppp0, but I don't understand why there isn't one. Before I checked the Only use the VPN connection for these addresses box and entered 64.69.223.27/27, the default route was sending everything over ppp0. Thanks for your help! Much appreciated!

Try adding the route with 'route add' from the command line.

Thanks Craig. I looked at the man page for route, but as far as I could tell, there isn't a way to specify which interface to use when adding a route. Please forgive my ignorance.

Craig, I have also tried using the Only use the VPN connection for these addresses option to prevent all traffic from being routed over the VPN connection.

[Bug 113622] Re: PPTP plugin for network manager sets wrong routing table entries
Dear Craig, I tried to make it work properly by the usage of Only use the VPN connection for these addresses, but it simply does not work. The reason is: the PPTP applet always creates the following WRONG routing entry, regardless what I put into the X-NM-Routes field: 172.16.3.253172.16.3.254255.255.255.255 UGH 0 00 eth0 I vote for considering this behaviour as a bug or at least as a feature request, since as long as this problem is not solved I am unable to setup a proper PPTP connection which is a real reduction of functionality. I kindly ask you to reopen this issue. By the way, I really do not understand why the usage of PPTP-VPN is so complicated under Linux. Under Windows and Mac its so easy... I just need to enter the VPN-server name login and password and everything works. Can anybody explain me why this is so complicated with Linux? (this is not a critics, I am just wondering what's the reason behind this difficulties) Thank you and best regards, Dominik -- PPTP plugin for network manager sets wrong routing table entries https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113622 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Cyril, please read http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto- diagnosis.phtml - and if you can't solve your problem, raise a new bug. Kuropka: it's difficult because the Windows and Mac clients assume you're connecting to a Windows server. The Linux client, based on PPP, lets you connect to anything, with any options. If it defaulted to Windows-friendly defaults, which my new version of the package does, it would go a long way. I am not sure why that host route is created, so will raise a bug upstream with the author. He's been AFK for a while though so I'm not sure what luck we may have. -- PPTP plugin for network manager sets wrong routing table entries https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113622 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 113622] Re: PPTP plugin for network manager sets wrong routing table entries
Dear Craig, I really do not understand how the usage of Only use the VPN connection for these addresses shall help me in my case, since my problem is NOT to define that only 172.16.3.253 has to be routed through the VPN/PPTP connection. It's exactly the opposite. So please tell me, how do I express that EVERYTHING has to be routed via the VPN/PPTP connection EXCEPT 172.16.3.253 ?

[Bug 113622] Re: PPTP plugin for network manager sets wrong routing table entries
If you don't define routes to use over the tunnel it will set a default route - all traffic will go over the tunnel. You can't set exclusions to that - what you have to do is tell NetworkManager which networks are at the other end of your tunnel - eg 192.168.0.0/24 - then it will create a route for only that network, and not a default route. -- PPTP plugin for network manager sets wrong routing table entries https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113622 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
