I had thought that I added a static route for the openvpn server

network address: 192.168.11.254
subnet mask 255.255.255.0
gateway: 10.8.0.1
interface: lan

you must add to your lan pcs something like

route add 10.8.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.11.5

11.5 is (?) openvpn servers lan ip

that is excellent new!

For a thread this long, please explain a bit more in detail how you solved it; what is the final openvpn, bridge and/or iptables configuration?
