Client side solution for route error

Post by branch » Sat Jul 18, 2015 1:59 pm

Hi, I am trying to connect from openvpn client on a Wifi Pineapple to an my openvpn server on my Netgear R7000 router.

After connecting i get the "OpenVPN ROUTE: OpenVPN needs a gateway parameter" error.
It is not possible for me to change anything on the server side:
Is there any way to solve this on the client side?

See log from client below

It looks like you will have to ask the server admin for help:
