Openvpn option-handling bug results in up-script errors #19

Closed tasket closed 6 years ago

tasket commented 6 years ago

From troubleshooting issue #16 :

There is no rhyme or reason to the way openvpn overrides certain options from the command line. The --up option is a particularly bad example.

openvpn --config client.ovpn --up /usr/bin/qubes/myscript.sh  # uses ovpn up setting

openvpn --config client.ovpn --up myscript.sh                 # uses ovpn up setting

openvpn --up /usr/bin/qubes/myscript.sh --config client.ovpn  # uses ovpn up setting

openvpn --up myscript.sh --config client.ovpn                 # uses COMMAND LINE up setting!

This results in script errors when VPN provider specify their own up scripts in their config files.

Requires a workaround.
