#504 closed Bug / Defect (duplicate)

Routing table change should either be complete, or not change at all

Description

I spotted the situation when 'openvpn xxx.ovpn' failed to add the routing rule to route to the VPN server IP through the previously default interface, therefore leaving VPN non-functional.

OpenVPN code should always keep the change "atomic", it is either complete, or rolled back.

This problem may appear as an intermittent failure to the user.

OS: FreeBSD 10.1

Indeed. Do you have any idea why the installation of the new route failed, or happen to have a log file demonstrating the issue?

Sorry, I recently filed another bug about the similar situation.
No, I can't provide the log for this one now.
I filed this for the record that this is possible, route(8) command can fail any time for any reason. Rollback procedure should be clean.
