For a Road warrir configuration as it is my case, the client only can access to any host pertaining to the local network of the server, and only the server can access to the client. In a network-to-network configuration, from any host in the local network of an office can be arrived at any other host from the local network from another office and vice versa. > > # route add -net 10.8.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 10.0.0.38 > Route settings in the openvpn configuration > should serve.

Point was to have in host where OVPN server was installed enabled IP forwarding (it already was) and to add a Netfilter rule so that the server realises masquerading (that was what it was lacking): # iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.8.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE It was not necessary to add some static route in firewall, then I remove it.
