no lan access for clients connected to remote openVPN server

So i'm having a small issue where I'm connecting clients to a remote openVPN server.
Everything works fine but while the connection is established I lose local LAN access rightfully so.

I'm trying to figure out how I could modify the client config file to push the local lan route (ideally 2 different lans, one for work one for home... i'd be OK using 2 separate configs if needed).

No server config since I don't manage that side... Trying to push the route to the client so they have access to the local lan from which they are connected to the OpenVPN server.

Openvpn client does not push anything .. I think you misunderstand how openvpn works.

Was under the impression I could add my own static route via the client config
