It is simple and it does the trick. Check your server config.

# Push routes to the client to allow it
# to reach other private subnets behind
# the server. Remember that these
# private subnets will also need
# to know to route the OpenVPN client
# address pool (10.8.0.0/255.255.255.0)
# back to the OpenVPN server.
;push route 192.168.10.0 255.255.255.0
;push route 192.168.20.0 255.255.255.0
push  "route 10.1.1.0  255.255.255.0"
push  "route 192.168.1.0  255.255.255.0"
