tun_prop_error: route is not canonical

[mattdeal]

Greetings!

I've been searching the forums for about two days to try to figure this out and found someone who seemed to have a similar issue here: topic15802.html Only problem is that I couldn't see any replies even though it seemed as though there were some based upon the posts. I would appreciate any help!

I've been working on creating a RPi VPN following the tutorial at: http://readwrite.com/2014/04/10/raspber ... b-browsing

Everything seemed to work very well, I installed OpenVPN Connect apps on my iPad and android phone, and then, even the apps both seemed to work well. Only trouble is, when I would input the LAN IP of one of my devices (router for instance) while using public wifi and VPN turned on with my iPad, I'd get the logon screen for the local (public) router instead of mine. Using my phone with cell data, not wifi, I could reach any of my devices on my LAN through their web based set ups.

Curious as to why, I began looking at the logs. Same OpenVPN Connect app logfile appeared on both iPad and my phone:

Now, I'm assuming the error message stated above has something to do with it. But regardless, what is that error message and how can I fix it? Google is pretty lean on answering this. I'm happy to paste as much of the log as needed, if needed, but this is where I saw the error.

Here is my server config file

Here is my server config file
Code:
local 192.168.1.103
...
push "route 192.168.1.103 255.255.255.0" ### mask 255.255.255.255

This is a route to host not network so the mask is /32 not /24

Thank you! Worked perfectly.
