Thanks Lonnie. Just a question which I'm not sure of. The Astlinux routing table points 172.16.16.0/24 to its own OpenVPN address (172.16.16.0/24 via 172.28.253.1 dev tun0). Is this correct? Shouldn't it point to the remote site OpenVPN address or is this how it works?

Network -> Firewall Configuration -> Firewall Options: ___ Allow OpenVPN Client tunnel to the [ 1st ] LAN Interface(s) ___ Allow OpenVPN Server tunnel to the [ 1st ] LAN Interface(s) So, for the Mikrotik it may be a similar firewall "forwarding" rule for the OpenVPN 'tun' interface <-> LAN interface. BTW, the proper OpenVPN config (your's looks good at a quick glance) will add the needed routes automatically.
