From 8fc83a2d6cfa44032f38e13fc2f7dbc096f584d9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Yonan Date: Mon, 26 Dec 2011 00:18:50 +0000 Subject: Added support for "on-link" routes on Linux client These are routes where the gateway is specified as an interface rather than an address. This allows redirect-gateway to work on Linux clients whose connection to the internet is via a point-to-point link such as PPP. Note that at the moment, this capability is incompatible with the "redirect-gateway block-local" directive -- this is because the block-local directive blocks all traffic from the local LAN except for the local and gateway addresses. Since a PPP link is essentially a subnet of two addresses, local and remote (i.e. gateway), the set of addresses that would be blocked by block-local is empty. Therefore, the "redirect-gateway block-local" directive will be ignored on PPP links. To view the OpenVPN client's current determination of the default gateway, use this command: ./openvpn --show-gateway git-svn-id: http://svn.openvpn.net/projects/openvpn/branches/BETA21/openvpn@7794 e7ae566f-a301-0410-adde-c780ea21d3b5 Signed-off-by: James Yonan Signed-off-by: David Sommerseth --- ChangeLog | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 22 insertions(+) (limited to 'ChangeLog') diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index 93ef65f..d6509b2 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,6 +1,28 @@ OpenVPN Change Log Copyright (C) 2002-2011 OpenVPN Technologies, Inc. +2011.12.25 -- Version 2.x-master +James Yonan (1): + Added support for "on-link" routes on Linux client -- these are + routes where the gateway is specified as an interface rather than + an address.
