I also can reproduce this issue with NetworkManager of Ubuntu 20.04 Focal Fossa (network-manager 1.22.10-1ubuntu2.2).
If I create an OpenVPN server WITHOUT 'redirect-gateway' and if I use the command line OpenVPN client directly as-is, it works. It does NOT create a new default gateway (because I do not want it). /usr/sbin/openvpn --config file.ovpn Instead. If I import that configuration in Network Manager, the "use this connection only for resources on this network" is unchecked and probably that's the cause of the creation of a new additional default route, wrong for these cases. Any plan about how to fix this issue in NetworkManager? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330833 Title: NetworkManager always overwrites default route when connecting to OpenVPN network Status in NetworkManager-OpenVPN: Invalid Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in network-manager-openvpn package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in network-manager package in Debian: New Status in network-manager package in Fedora: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager My office VPN has IMAP, (forwarding) DNS services and not much else. It doesn't forward client traffic to the Internet. This means I can't use the VPN server as a default gateway. Every time I connect to the VPN using NetworkManager/OpenVPN, my routing table gets a default route to the VPN. I've tried everything to avoid this in both the Intrepid package and the version from the network manager PPA with no success. Even telling NetworkManager to ignore routes from the server doesn't work. As it is right now, I have to connect to the VPN, delete the default route, and re-add my wireless router as the default gateway before I can have both email and web access. See attached routing table details.
