Error "OpenVPNROUTE6: cannot parse gateway spec 'net_gateway'"
| Reported by: | mike_SF | Owned by: | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Priority: | minor | Milestone: | release 2.6 |
| Component: | IPv6 | Version: | OpenVPN 2.4.0 (Community Ed) |
| Severity: | Not set (select this one, unless your'e a OpenVPN developer) | Keywords: | --route IPv6 net_gateway |
| Cc: |
Description
On a client with the following entries in the configuration file
route 8.8.8.8 255.255.255.255 net_gateway route-ipv6 2001:4860:4860::8888/128 net_gateway
The first one (IPv4) works like a charm, but the second one (IPv6) causesthe following error in the log:
OpenVPNROUTE6: cannot parse gateway spec 'net_gateway'
Pseudorandomly replacing net_gateway with net_gateway_ipv6 yields the following error:
OpenVPNROUTE6: cannot parse gateway spec 'net_gateway_ipv6'
In both cases the documented functionality, that a route to that particular IPv6 address is established through the gateway and outside of the VPN, is not established.

This is a duplicate of #1084 (or vice versa) and #1161.
Both have been acknowledged as "yes, there are use cases where this is wanted", but as this is not "just broken" but "not implemented yet" it will not happen in the 2.4.x or 2.5.x train - 2.6 it is.
I am closing this ticket, as we have the other two to track things.
