Routing/Interface Configuration - The Routing and interface configuration is not done via traditionell ifconfig/route command but by using the VPNService API. This results in a different routing configuration than on other OSes. The configuration only consists of the IP of the tunnel interface and the networks that should be routed over this interface. Especially no peer partner address or gateway address is needed. Special routes to reach the VPN Server (for example added when using redirect-gateway) are not needed either. The application will consequently ignore these settings when importing a configuration. The app ensures with the VPNService API that the connection to the server is not routed through the VPN tunnel. Since only specifing networks to be routed via tunnel is supported extra routes not pointing to the tunnel cannot be supported either. (e.g. route x.x.x.x y.y.y.y net_gateway). The log windows shows the current configuration of the VPNService upon establishing a connection. + The Routing and interface configuration is not done via traditional ifconfig/route commands but by using the VPNService API.

Only specifying networks to be routed via tunnel is supported. The app tries to detect networks that should not be routed over tunnel (e.g. route x.x.x.x y.y.y.y net_gateway) and calculates a route set that excludes this routes to emulate the behaviour of other platforms. The log windows shows the configuration of the VPNService upon establishing a connection. Do not fallback to no VPN connection when OpenVPN is reconnecting. Persistent tun OpenVPN Log -- cgit v1.2.3
