I don't know anything about these things --- Ben is the networking
expert here. :)

Anyway, could you send "ip r" output from before and after connecting
to your openvpn server, just to humor us?  Also could you strace a
program that tries to connect and fails in this scenario, so we can
see what syscalls it makes and what response the kernel gives?

Hope that helps,
