ExpressVPN connection Options Error: Option "dhcp-option" "route" "redirect gateway"

4o4rh

With the "Don't pull routes" option checked and the following custom options

tun-mtu 1500;
fragment 1300;
mssfix 1200;
remote-random;
verify-x509-name Server name-prefix;
remote-cert-tls server;
key-direction 1;
route-method exe;
route-delay 2;
auth-nocache;

I am getting the following errors

Sep 20 13:43:34 	openvpn 	83998 	Options error: option 'route' cannot be used in this context ([PUSH-OPTIONS])
Sep 20 13:43:34 	openvpn 	83998 	Options error: option 'dhcp-option' cannot be used in this context ([PUSH-OPTIONS])
Sep 20 13:43:34 	openvpn 	83998 	Options error: option 'redirect-gateway' cannot be used in this context ([PUSH-OPTIONS])
Sep 20 13:43:34 	openvpn 	83998 	PUSH: Received control message: 'PUSH_REPLY,redirect-gateway def1,dhcp-option DNS 10.156.0.1,comp-lzo no,route 10.x.0.1,topology net30,ping 10,ping-restart 60,ifconfig 10.x.1.6 10.x.1.5,peer-id 60'

if i add "pull" to the options no differences are noticed.

I can add the below to remove the those errors, but have problems with the vpn then
pull-filter ignore "dhcp-option";
pull-filter ignore "redirect-gateway";

but if i add the below, it of course kills the routing completely.
pull-filter ignore "route";

Will it connect with all the custom options removed?

If so add them one at a time, several of those are not needed at all..

@bcruze it connects, with or without the filter.

The question is whether it routes.
i think the only one i can get away with is the dhcp-option.
using the filter on either the redirect-gateway or route stops connectivity over the vpn.

Does that show you connected?

@bcruze shows me the access point of my vpn connection.
