Incorrect gateway is assumed when using tun + topology subnet

Description

The script /usr/local/sbin/ovpn-linkup has en error where network mask is returned as a gateway when no gateway provided by the server:

if [ "${dev_type}" = "tun" ]; then
    if [ "" != "$route_vpn_gateway" ]; then
        /bin/echo $route_vpn_gateway > /tmp/$1_router
    else
        /bin/echo $5 > /tmp/$1_router
    fi
fi

See "ovpn log.txt" attachment. 5th argument passed to the script is a network mask. The script should use interface IP (the 4th argument) as it's gateway ... like in GRE tunnel configuration.

I know that pfsense team wants to release 2.2 asap but its quality will suffer if fast decisions were taken place.

This bug is real and nothing will change the reality. The script works incorrectly for tun.

See attachment. Top part made with $5; Bottom with $4; ... conclusion is obvious ... network mask, heh ...

Well, I won't argue. If you see no bug then there is no bug.

I re-opened it after confirming that atypical circumstance. Your pull request is wrong though, it fixes a rare edge case, while breaking all the common circumstances.

Everything is ok except for tun server. Incorrect IP is assumed: 5.45.32.2 is not exists and never existed.

--

1. Why would server-side need a gateway at all? I don't understand such configuration.

2. Why I have lots of dynamic gateways for interfaces without an IP address assigned? It's impossible to edit such entry or add a static route on such gw entry. I can't apprehend such "feature" either.
