 actually, client connects to a public network and
doesn't overlaps with destinatio subnet (C), and I
want its VPN interface to "put" the client as close as
possible to destination subnet (C). Putting the
client's VPN interface directly to destination subnet
(C) would be the most preffered solution.

OK but do OpenVPN connections survive NAT ? It is
possible for some client addresses to be private and
then translated through NAT to reach the internet.
