I think openvpn's routing options are intended for 'typical use' only.
It is impossible for openvpn to know each and every non-trivial setup
possible.
If you modify openvpn-created route after it starts, your setup
is at least a bit non-typical.
Use:
--route-up cmd
Execute shell command cmd after routes are added, subject to
--route-delay.
--route-noexec
Don't add or remove routes automatically. Instead pass routes
to --route-up script using environmental variables.
--up cmd
Shell command to run after successful TUN/TAP device open (pre
--user UID change). The up script is useful for specifying
route commands which route IP traffic destined for private sub-
nets which exist at the other end of the VPN connection into the
tunnel.
or, if you are really drowning in tons of interfaces going up and down,
run routing daemon, like zebra. I did not need it, yet, but eventually will do
:)
