- IP addresses are not reset (as the tun device is pesistent)
so indeed, lots of differences here.
What about this:
- take your patch as it is (because it's not very intrusive, provides
variables people are asking for, and cleans up tun.c a bit :-) )
- add a patch to openvpn.8 that explains the differences in --up-restart
(so people will know that the lack of route env vars is not a bug)
