Hello,

please could you enable 'debug all' for the ospf protocol at server?
It should tell you whether it receives the packets and what is it doing
with them.

OpenVPN in TUN mode does quite strange things with routing. Have you tried
routing by static routes first (to see whether it works or not)?

Example:

Server has 10.29.0.1/30 (peer 10.29.0.2).
Client A has 10.29.0.5/30 (peer 10.29.0.6) and 172.30.5.0/24 on other iface.
Client B has 10.29.0.9/30 (peer 10.29.0.10) and 172.30.9.0/24 on other iface.

Have you managed to add a route on Client A that would route traffic
to 172.30.9.0/24? (If yes, please tell me, I also need something like that.)

Now I overcome these problems by several GRE (or GRETAP) tunnels over the VPN,
these are real PtP links and also routing works over them quite well.
