I used this:
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/HOWTO#IncludingmultiplemachinesontheclientsidewhenusingaroutedVPNdevtun

And did the steps outlined there and it all works! :-)

I have a test setup where the offsite router is actually at home but connected
to a different fiber box connection so it is elsewhere on the Internet.
Then I have put one of my many Raspberries on that router too.

When I started the router it connected just fine to my home OpenVPN server using
the ccd entry for the client as outlined in the how-to.
And then when I started the RPi I got the report it always sends on startup
where I can see the external IP address (different from my main router's
external address!).

Now I could both ping and ssh to that RPi from my Windows PC and the RPi could
ping devices on my home LAN too.

So it *is* running bidirectional comm, both LAN:s are connected as a single LAN
with two IP ranges.

Thanks again for your pointer to the best document I have yet seen on OpenVPN.
Earlier I had only found and bookmarked this Howto:
https://openvpn.net/community-resources/how-to/

That is not nearly as good as the new one you linked to!
THANKS A LOT AGAIN!!!!
