Isolated OpenVPN routing table on Linux

Save the route script to /usr/local/lib/openvpn/route on the client. Make it executable with chmod +x.

Remove the push redirect-gateway option from the OpenVPN server config.

Add these options to the OpenVPN client config:

setenv OPENVPN_ROUTE_TABLE 94
route-noexec
route-up /usr/local/lib/openvpn/route
route 0.0.0.0 128.0.0.0
route 128.0.0.0 128.0.0.0

Run these commands as root on the client before starting OpenVPN, replacing VPN_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS as appropriate:

ip rule add table 94
ip rule add to VPN_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS unreachable
ip rule add to VPN_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS table main

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6

These commands need only be run once per boot. The changes they make will be lost when the system reboots.
