OpenVPN client / policy routing -> text area

I think that the current OpenVPN policy routing GUI is unpractical for large lists as each record needs to be edited manually and requires few clicks.

‌

3 points:

A- I don’t see much value in the enable/disable feature, unwanted domains should not be in this list. It all uses NVRAM eventually. So perhaps this should be removed? In this sense an option to quote/disable can be achieved via the idea here below at point B)

‌

B- I would suggest transforming this tab into a simple text area, actually 3 text areas (similar to what we have eg. for the certificate page). One text area accepts Source IPs, the second one Destination IPs and the third one domains. e.g.

‌

As other textarea within FT, we could also allow to prepend a # to a line to consider that a quotation (equivalent of the current disabled, or not enabled I should say).

NOTE this all goes in NVRAM which as we know is not unlimited. So a maximum number of line should be imposed and perhaps a link to the acpr.sh forum-thread/wiki-page provided for users that really want to have extremely long lists.

\\EDIT:

C) Adding a new point where the routing policy information can be read from file. We can still use the idea of point B) but is a full file path is defined that’s where the content should be fetched from. A similar approach was used for adblock v2 and it seems to be working well.
