i did a quick google search for the error you were getting

Route addition via IPAPI failed

and came up with a whole lot of goodies.
i suggest that you go to openvpn forums and search for that. here's a few
pages i found.

hope this helps... i've never used openvpn before but this is where i would
start.

Hi,
I'm fairly new to networking software and was hoping someone can clue me in
to why I can connect to IPCop via OpenVPN and use the internet, but not
access the local network. Looks like it has something to do with the ROUTE
command in the log file below. Any ideas on how to fix this?
TIA,
Mark

One person at on the OpenVPN mailing list suggested it might be a
permissions problem. I'm using the ZERINA-0.9.4g implementation of OpenVPN
on IPCop and there is no means that I can see to configure permissions. I
also tried to execute the statement as root at the command prompt and I
login as: root
