option to fix routing on new HTC Roms

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

After some debugging i managed to get openvpn working on my Desire with the new 
HTC froyo roms so i am sharing the workaround and maybe hope to be able to set 
it up in openvpn-settings for an automatic fix.

I only tested in LeeDroid 1.3a but i guess this may just as well be the same in 
other HTC Sense roms since they have the same base.

The problem is that on this ROM HTC is defining multiple routing tables:

sh-3.2# ip rule                  
0:      from all lookup local 
3001:   from all lookup wifi 
32766:  from all lookup main 
32767:  from all lookup default 

and when the VPN connects it only modifies the routes on the main table, so the 
wifi table which defines the wifi default GW is still in use: nothing goes into 
the tunnel (the nasty thing is that the network still works so users might not 
even realize they are on the unsecure channel)

The easiest workaround is to issue:
ip rule del from all lookup wifi

IMHO there is nothing of value in the wifi table, before the vpn connects it 
has the same routes as the main table; and it is "safe" as it gets recreated 
when the wifi reconnects.

So would love to see an advanced option to do just that; or better make the 
program detect the situation by itself (since most user probably won't).
