openvpn3-autoload / ConfigParser.py do not allow the usage of possible argument about openvpn3-linux HOT 6 CLOSED

Patch submitted. I had to create a new mail address to avoid mine to be public.

Quite a bit complicated process, but I hope I helped.

Hi,

Thanks for the report. These all seems to be options we need to add to the ignore list; neither of them exists for the OpenVPN 3 Core library and they make little sense in the OpenVPN 3 context. For the time being, --route-method, --mute and --route-delay can all be removed from your current config.

I will try to remember to fix this for the next v14_beta release.

I am working on a PR. For the mute parameter it seems quite easy. for the 2 others, I am not sure about the acceptable formats.

Is there anywhere an official documentation?

Awesome! Please send these patches to the [email protected] mailing list; see the wiki page for some more details: https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/DeveloperDocumentation

All of these three options can go into the "ignored section" of ConfigParser.py. For the option syntax, see the OpenVPN 2.x man pages (--route-method, --route-delay)

Great! Thanks a lot! I will review it properly next week and merge it. At first glance it looks good.

The process may seem complicated, but it ensures that the review is preserved even if GitHub disappears in the future, due to the distributed nature of e-mail and mailing lists. It will always be possible to nest up why a change appeared later, something which is important for security products like VPN solutions.
