Description Malte S. Stretz 2025-04-14 11:40:43 UTC 
SUMMARY
I tried to import an .ovpn file, probably generated by some Sophos VPN solution. It failes with the error message

> Failed to import VPN connection: configuration error: unsupported 1th argument remote_host to "route" (line 7)

The line 7 reads as follows (not obfuscated):

```
route remote_host 255.255.255.255 net_gateway
```

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to import an ovpn file with the setting above.

OBSERVED RESULT
Can't import OpenVPN config

EXPECTED RESULT
A new OpenVPN connection.
