Public bug reported:
We have a couple of VPN endpoints located in different places. These
each provide access to a bunch of things located in both places. We
decided that it would be a good idea to let people connect to both
endpoints so that by adjusting the metrics on the pushed routes (we used
500 and 1000) our users would always use the shortest available path.
This works great with vanilla openvpn, but when using network-manager-
openvpn, the metrics are lost and instead "50" is used, which means that
only one gateway is used. Ideally network-manager-openvpn would use the
supplied metrics so that traffic is routed as intended.
This seems to affect network-manager-openvpn in releases of Ubuntu up to
18.04 LTS, and possibly beyond.
