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 Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/330833 Title: NetworkManager always overwrites default route when connecting to OpenVPN network To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/330833/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
