Description

According to documentation ​ https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/IgnoreRedirectGateway VPN connection must not become a gateway only when a parameter is specified 'pull-filter ignore redirect-gateway'.

But I has config without 'pull-filter ignore redirect-gateway' and this connection not became as default gateway.

It a bug?

Here is my .ovpn file: 

tls-client
dev tun
proto udp4
remote employer.com 607
push-peer-info
auth-user-pass
reneg-sec 86400
remote-cert-tls server
client-cert-not-required
key-direction 1
<ca>
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
Cut the certificate
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
</ca>
<tls-auth>
#
# 2048 bit OpenVPN static key
#
-----BEGIN OpenVPN Static key V1-----
Cut the key
-----END OpenVPN Static key V1-----
</tls-auth>

There is no redirect-gateway in your config, so OpenVPN will not redirect the gateway. If the server is pushing one, we can't see it, because there is no log file included ( verb 3 ).

pull-filter is an expert option to ignore/reject options configured on the OpenVPN server and pushed towards the clients if you do not want that - but if there is no option there to start with, there is nothing to ignore.

Long story short: if you want a redirected default gateway, add redirect-gateway def1 to your client config (or have it pushed from the server).

Generally speaking, this bug tracker is more intended for "is this a bug?" type questions. User questions are better fit in the OpenVPN Forum, or on the openvpn-users mailing list.
