"redirect-gateway" : "bypass-dhcp" usage ?

[deleted]

Hello,

To go to sleep less stupid, when "bypass-dhcp" must NOT be used in "redirect-gateway" statement ?

The manual says:

bypass-dhcp -- Add a direct route to the DHCP server (if it is non-local) which bypasses the tunnel

It's not very clear for me. :cry:
Could you please give a concrete example ?

Thanks!

Steve.

99.99% of users will never need to use bypass-dhcp.
I have never even seen a non-local DHCP server.
The only concrete example I can give is: a slab of concrete .. sorry about that. :geek:

OK, this parameter is almost useless since DHCP server is always local (99,99% of cases).
In fact, this parameter is curiously present in almost all config file by default but it is never appplied.
It could be deleted without causing any trouble in 99.99%.
Quite disturbing... I did not understand " (if it is non-local) " statement.
I agree with you, "non-local DHCP server" : WTFIT ?!? :shock:

Thanks!

Steve.

There is a lot of garbage about openvpn out there on the inter-weber-blogger-bollox :twisted:
