Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report. >From what you described it seems that Network Manager is the one responsible for adding the unexpected routing rule, so this might not affect OpenVPN itself. I quickly tried to reproduce your setup but did not notice the bug there. Could you please share your config files to see if I missed something?
Since there is not enough information in your report to begin triage or to differentiate between a local configuration problem and a bug in Ubuntu, I am marking this bug as "Incomplete". We would be grateful if you would: provide a more complete description of the problem, explain why you believe this is a bug in Ubuntu rather than a problem specific to your system, and then change the bug status back to "New". For local configuration issues, you can find assistance here: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community ** Also affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: openvpn (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1917887 Title: Network Manager OpenVPN nested connections fail to setup routes correctly Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in openvpn package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Setup: Host lan: 192.168.0.238/24 Host Default gw: 192.168.0.1 ip route: default via 192.168.0.1 dev eno1 proto dhcp metric 100 169.254.0.0/16 dev eno1 scope link metric 1000 192.168.0.0/24 dev eno1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.238 metric 100 Primary OpenVPN (check "Use this connection only for resources on its network"): server ip: public a.b.c.d OpenVPN Tunnel: 192.168.1.0/24 routes pushed: 192.168.100.0/24 First VPN works OK: default via 192.168.0.1 dev eno1 proto dhcp metric 100 169.254.0.0/16 dev eno1 scope link metric 1000 192.168.0.0/24 dev eno1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.238 metric 100 192.168.0.1 dev eno1 proto static scope link metric 100 192.168.100.0/24 via 192.168.10.1 dev tun0 proto static metric 50 a.b.c.d via 192.168.0.1 dev eno1 proto static metric 100 Secondary OpenVPN (check "Use this connection only for resources on its network"): server ip: private 192.168.100.10 OpenVPN Tunnel: 192.168.20.0/24 routes pushed: 192.168.200.0/24 Second VPN Connect OK, routing table is wrong: default via 192.168.0.1 dev eno1 proto dhcp metric 100 192.168.200.0/24 via 192.168.20.1 dev tun1 192.168.20.0/24 dev tun1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.20.59 169.254.0.0/16 dev eno1 scope link metric 1000 192.168.0.0/24 dev eno1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.238 metric 100 192.168.0.1 dev eno1 proto static scope link metric 100 192.168.100.0/24 via 192.168.10.1 dev tun0 proto static metric 50 a.b.c.d via 192.168.0.1 dev eno1 proto static metric 100 192.168.100.10 via 192.168.0.1 dev eno1 proto static metric 100 <- this is wrong, the openVPN#2 Gateway is not on the local lan Correct routing table using "sudo /usr/sbin/openvpn /path/to/config.openvpn" (same a Network Manager) default via 192.168.0.1 dev eno1 proto dhcp metric 100 192.168.200.0/24 via 192.168.20.1 dev tun1 192.168.20.0/24 dev tun1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.20.59 169.254.0.0/16 dev eno1 scope link metric 1000 192.168.0.0/24 dev eno1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.238 metric 100 192.168.0.1 dev eno1 proto static scope link metric 100 192.168.100.0/24 via 192.168.10.1 dev tun0 proto static metric 50 a.b.c.d via 192.168.0.1 dev eno1 proto static metric 100 It seems that Network Manager add a wrong additional route not added by the openvpn bin: 192.168.100.10 via 192.168.0.1 dev eno1 proto static metric 100 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 Package: openvpn 2.4.7-1ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.8.0-44.50~20.04.1-generic 5.8.18 Uname: Linux 5.8.0-44-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.16 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Fri Mar 5 12:44:39 2021 InstallationDate: Installed on 2021-02-19 (13 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04.2.0 LTS "Focal Fossa" - Release amd64 (20210209.1) ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=it_IT.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: openvpn UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1917887/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
