Hi, I have a VPN connection that i use in Windows and Linux. I need to add some routes so that some specific addresses go "around" the VPN. In windows this is very easy: I just add the following to the config file: [b]route 100.133.100.111[/b] In Linux this does not work. I need to enter gateway, netmask and metric. Why does it not work automatically? I don't want to change the config each time i move to a new network. [url=https://imgbb.com/][img]https://i.ibb.co/YhG02yg/asd.png[/img][/url]

Route adding is confusing

Hi,
I have a VPN connection that i use in Windows and Linux.

I need to add some routes so that some specific addresses go "around" the VPN.

In windows this is very easy:
I just add the following to the config file:

route 100.133.100.111

In Linux this does not work. I need to enter gateway, netmask and metric. Why does it not work automatically? I don't want to change the config each time i move to a new network.
