Bug Description
[Impact]
network-
This means that per omission the VPN connection supports 100 routes that can be pushed by the openvpn server to the client. If the openvpn server pushes more than 100 routes, the VPN establishment fails.
From OpenVPN manual:
"--max-routes n
Allow a maximum number of n --route options to be specified, either in the local configuration file, or pulled from an OpenVPN server. By default, n=100."
The attached patch comes from upstream's fix (see linked Gnome bug) and adds a new option to the NM Advanced section for network-
[Test Case]
1. Configure an OpenVPN server to push > 100 routes
2. Set up a connection to it using network-
3. Attempt to connect
Before this fix, the connection would fail, and you'd not be able to resolve it using Network Manager.
After the fix, the connection will fail, but one can use the UI, in the Advanced section, to configure the maximum number of routes to be >= the number sent.
[Regression Potential]
Two broad areas -
1) the UI could be messed up, and make it difficult or impossible to configure VPNs. Or,
2) the establishment of a VPN could fail, both
2.a) with peers that push < 100 routes
2.b) with peers that push > 100 routes
