Ability to Set Static Routes

[teamosceola]

Feature Request:

• Ability to configure static routes in the config file.

What I would like to be able do via the config file:

host = vpn.domain.com
port = 443
set-routes = 0
set-dns = 0
pppd-use-peerdns = 0
add-static-route = 10.0.1.0/24
add-static-route = 10.0.10.0/24
add-static-route = 10.2.1.0/24
add-static-route = 10.20.1.0/24

Which would result in the following commands running after the vpn interface is up

ip route add 10.0.1.0/24 dev ppp0
ip route add 10.0.10.0/24 dev ppp0
ip route add 10.2.1.0/24 dev ppp0
ip route add 10.20.1.0/24 dev ppp0

This is very useful for people that need to access resources that are behind the vpn, but want their normal web traffic to not use the vpn. A good example is audio/video teleconferencing where the quility would be degraded due to the added latency of the vpn.

this can be achieved by an pppd-ipup script, see #371 and the wiki page

i had the same issue, for me the wiki worked and needed some small changes. i did them, changed the docs and added a few descriptions. is it ok for you @teamosceola to close this issue now?

I was able to get it to work using the pppd-ipup script, but I actually ended up switching to using
sudo apt install network-manager-fortisslvpn-gnome
to ultimately solve my issue.

In systems that do have NetworkManager enabled, indeed it sounds best to handle routing and name resolution within NetworkManager. Great to hear that you got that working.
