Hi All,
I have been installing the latest version of OpenVPN Connect Client on both Windows and MacOS and noticed something.
I have the options "route-nopull" and "route" in my ovpn config file and once I import this and connect, all the traffic still goes over my VPN connection.
Example:
route-nopull
route 10.64.0.0 255.255.240.0 vpn_gateway
The idea was that only the 10.64.0.0/20 traffic would be sent to the VPN and leaving all other traffic to my norml network connection.
But like I said, all traffic will go over the VPN connection and when I start the connection, I can see the "OpenVPN - Warning" message box which allows you to see more details. This seems to be the ovpn file content and the options "route-nopull" and "route" are missing. When I place a comment line above and below these two options I can still see the comment lines but the options in between are missing/gone.
Does anybody have any idea what I might be missing or doing wrong? Perhaps there is a better technique to split the tunnel?
