Newly added routes to site to site VPN aren't added to client routing table

unixnerd

I am having an unusual issue with my site to site VPN. I've added two additional routes to push to the client-side in the server configuration and bounced the server. I can see logs on both server-side/client-side that the newly added routes were pushed to the client. However the client doesn't add them to its kernel routing table.. If I add the static routes manually everything works as expected.

Both server and client are running Debian GNU/Linux 8.9 (jessie) with OpenVPN 2.3.4-5+deb8u2

Got any ideas?

My apologies for the vague post.

Disregard. I found the issue.

Noticed this log after the route was pushed to the client.

Options error: route parameter gateway 'vpn-gateway' must be a valid address

Reviewed the server configuration and found a typo in the two newly added route push commands

push "route *.*.*.* 255.255.255.0 vpn-gateway 10"

instead of

push "route *.*.*.* 255.255.255.0 vpn_gateway 10"

Thanks anyways.
