Enable route propagation

You can enable route propagation to a route table so that it contains the routes associated with a VPN (Virtual Private Network) connection.

This action automatically updates the route table with the routes of the VPN connection, and directs them to the virtual gateway. Otherwise, you must add each route to the route table manually. Route propagation is optional, and works with static or dynamic routing. You can use a default or custom route table.
