Apply routes when connecting to VPN

BeaverusIV · 03-04-2013, 09:47 PM

I currently can run:

Code:

route add -net 201.1.1.0/24 gw 200.1.1.2

to allow me to connect to an external server without routing through my VPN. I use NetworkManager and there is a 'routes' section but adding this into there does not work. Is this where I should be inputting this or is there some other way to make sure this route is used. It doesn't matter if it is applied when I do not have a VPN running.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

what kind of vpn?

OpenVPN. I used an .ovpn file to import the details.

I don't understand your question. Are you saying if you are on a LAN and you have a VPN running to allow access from the outside to the same, you can't access the internet? (or some server outside the LAN?) You seem to imply there is no trouble if the VPN isn't running. I can't see how a VPN would effect normal LAN traffic. :|

I can only access an external site through my original IP (whitelisted). Running that command lets it happen while I'm connected to a VPN, how do I get it to run automatically.
