#668 new Bug / Defect
route_vpn_gateway environment variable not set when no routes pushed

| Priority: | major | Milestone: | |

Description
The route_vpn_gateway environment variable is not set for the up script unless a route is also pushed. There are a variety of use cases where you need route_vpn_gateway but don't have pushed routes, like where you're policy routing over OpenVPN, or otherwise want or need your up script to handle routing. route_vpn_gateway should never be excluded where it's known/exists.

Well, I'm using dummy route push for a long time as a workaround, but this is not good, imho. Will it be fixed?

I've been hit by that bug recently, so here's a patch that should fix it, ensuring $route_vpn_gateway is set even when no routes are pushed.

Hi All!
I can confirm that the described defect returns back in the version OpenVPN 2.4.7 I am currently using.
Unfortunately I have no ability to upgrade OVPN because 2.4.7 is the latest version on my LTS OS package repository (OpenWRT 19.7).
Could team review this bug? I'm awaiting for a fix almost a half of year!
