Push additional route to openvpn clients

[atkinsom]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to push an additional route to my OpenVpn clients running on some external home devices. I've setup the OpenVpn server on my AC-68u running Merlin software with no issues and everything is working correctly using username/password authentication. I just want an additional static route sent to the clients when they connect rather than creating a persistent route on their windows and mac systems. Can someone guide me on what command to use and where to place this command for server 1 on the router. See the info below I've been adding to the individual clients manually that I want to be pushed from the OpenVpn server. Thanks for any help.

route add 192.168.100.1 mask 255.255.255.255 10.8.0.1 IF 33 -p

Depends on the firmware. In the case of Merlin, you can add these routes on a per client basis using the Manage Client-Specific Options section of the OpenVPN server GUI. You need to enable Advanced Settings, enable Manage Client-Specific Options, then "push" that route for the specific client (based on its Common Name on its cert) under Allowed Clients.

Finally figured it out using the push command in the custom configuration field. This way you don't have to modify every client config you have out in the field.
push "route 192.168.100.1 255.255.255.255 10.8.0.1 21"
push "route DESTINATIONIP SUBNETMASK GATEWAY METRIC"
