what does it say in the client-side logs when this is pushed?

Not very special but I can paste later.

And are you specifying "topology subnet" on the server side? then that
get's pushed to the clients also.

Yes I have tried all 3 combinations like I said; both on the server and on the client.

it could also have been the client-side config file ;)

I think you should assume that something makes sense what someone says ;-).

:p.

Add "route 10.3.0.0 255.255.255.0" to the server-side config file
(main config file) to ensure that the routing table is also updated
each time OpenVPN starts and stops.

This is done by the learn-address script.

Also, check that IP forwarding is enabled (I would assume so
already).

Of course.

Then, finally, post the routing tables once the VPN
server+client are up.

I've already done so basically.

Run tcpdump (e.g. on the server) to see where
packets are getting lost between subnet-behind-server vs
subnet-behind-client.

When I did this I was unfortunately checking the wrong IP ;-) (192.168.0.1 instead of 0.3).

It was pretty obvious the router (0.1) would not return fire as it has no appropriate routes (these ISP modems you cannot configure).

But like I said after about 7 minute last time I tried, the proper 'link' came up.

That means RIGHT NOW everything is working.

If I now restart the client it will probably take a few minutes again before everything is working; by it takes this long I do not know.

But the experience at THIS MOMENT is that AFTER THOSE 7 minutes, it keeps working indefinitely.

I mean this is the ping from the PC:

Pinging 10.3.0.2 with 32 bytes of data:

Ping statistics for 10.3.0.2:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
    Minimum = 8ms, Maximum = 152ms, Average = 45ms

But right now my server is in a bit of a mess because I had a hellish time trying to upgrade Debian to version 9

( partly my fault for not recognising an earlier bug in my server, but several packages have been dropped from Debian that I used etc... )

So I don't feel much like troubleshooting because there are more serious things on my mind...

But the only thing I could show you was the client log and the tcpdump on the server as the 10.3.0.2 client tries to reach the 192.168.0.3 IP.

But that can wait ;-).

Regards.
