Bug Description

If I do a OpenVPN client configuration via NM (manual or via import) and the OpenVPN server send routes to the client, the client ignores these routes.

e.g: Server openvpn.conf has:
push "route 10.10.0.0 255.255.0.0"

The client ignores it and routes all traffic (0.0.0.0/0) through the VPN, not only the network 10.10.0.0/16.

Workaround: Setting explicit routes via the NM-applet for this VPN.

BTW: Setting up the OpenVPN direct (without NM-applet / GUI) in /etc/openvpn/ then the pushed routes from the server are working.
