[Don't pull routes]

Hello everyone and thanks to you all and especially M4DM4NZ for getting this thread going years ago.  That said I do have a couple issues I'm still ironing out and I'm trying to really understand this.  The original How To said to create a rule for port 500.  Was that a thing back in 2018 because I can't see any reason why I would need this rule.  Any thought on that? 

Also Thank you

Hello,

i hope someone can explain me the implications / correct settings of the openvpn client configuration Don't pull routes and Dont add/remove routes

Every VPN Provider seems to have different settings here.

NordVPN
Don't pull routes               -> Unchecked
Dont add/remove routes    -> Checked

AirVPN
Don't pull routes               -> Checked
Dont add/remove routes    -> Unchecked

PIA
Don't pull routes               -> Unchecked
Dont add/remove routes    -> Unchecked

Can someone please help here?
Thx!

That is what really helped me get this going.  Nowhere is it mentioned that these settings are so important, but they are.  The VPN providers don't even seem to mention them.

Many things can be a waste of your effort, but a helping hand is not.
