Some Windows wont push local route 192.168.1.0/24

I created an OpenVPN server that pushes the route 192.168.1.0/24 for my OpenVPN clients.

On my Windows, it works. I can access the router 192.168.1.1 on the OpenVPN server computer

However, on my father's Windows it wont work. I can't access the local network of the server, it accesses his local network, not the remote one.

Im using OpenVPN connect for his Windows, which is 32 bits (dont know if this matters). Mine is 64 bits.

I turned off his firewall but it didn't help.

Any ideas on how to debug this?

The same ovpn profile works on my computer and also on his phone. Only his Windows wont work.

Never use 192.168.1.0/24 (or similar subnets) for your server LAN.

See your own log at --verb 4 for an explanation.

How can I see the log? And why I shouldn't use 192.168.1.0/24? I'm noob, just wanted to access the router on the other side.

See --log in the manual.

Because it will probably not work .. which is the case for you.

I should pass just 192.168.1.1 which is the router then?

You're saying about command line, but I installed the GUI version (openVPN connect), not the command line. The GUI version has a log, can I post it here?
