This is now working in 1.1.93-1ubuntu1.1 on xenial. However as an aside, I'd like to find the translation string for the new option since it says:
"Specify the maximum number of routes the server is allowed so specify." Which should at a minimum change the 'so' to 'to', but better still not say 'specify' repeatedly. The string isn't available to change on launchpad in network-manager(-gnome/-openvpn) etc -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-openvpn in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1617098 Title: Add support for option max-routes Status in NetworkManager-OpenVPN: Fix Released Status in network-manager-openvpn package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in network-manager-openvpn source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in network-manager-openvpn source package in Yakkety: Triaged Status in network-manager-openvpn source package in Zesty: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] 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 than 100 routes, 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." The attached patch comes from upstream's fix (see linked Gnome bug) and adds a new option to the NM Advanced section for network-manager- openvpn. [Test Case] 1. Configure an OpenVPN server to push > 100 routes 2. Set up a connection to it using network-manager-openvpn 3. Attempt to connect Before this fix, the connection would fail, and you'd not be able to resolve it using Network Manager. After the fix, the connection will fail, but one can use the UI, in the Advanced section, to configure the maximum number of routes to be >= the number sent. [Regression Potential] Two broad areas - 1) the UI could be messed up, and make it difficult or impossible to configure VPNs. Or, 2) the establishment of a VPN could fail, both 2.a) with peers that push < 100 routes 2.b) with peers that push > 100 routes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/1617098/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
