Description

Hi,

this is the ticket for this forum post https://forum.netgate.com/topic/149330/disabled-static-route-deletes-openvpn-s-routes/4

After starting an OpenVPN connection, the routes to the target network are removed after ~5s from the routing table, if they exist as a disabled static route in the pfSense.

Expected behaviour: if something is disabled ignore it. Disabled routes should not have impact on the VPN.

Steps to reproduce:

- Have a working OpenVPN Connection

- create a static route to the vpn targt network
check the disable route checkbox

- while observing the routing table:

  • stop OpenVPN (no route to the the target network obviously)
  • start OpenVPN (route exists for about 5s, in my case it's a server pushed route, then it disappears)
