the routing table looks OK to me, though I find the route

a little odd - it suggests a /32 route pointing to itself.

I just checked another Windows 10 machine, and it has the same type of route - I am guessing it is some sort of weird Windows 10 thing?

Probably, I'd need to check a Windows 10 box myself which I don't have access to at the moment...


Can you confirm that a
   tracert -d 192.168.112.1
indeed enters the tunnel first?

Things are potentially getting more interesting. tracert claims a single hop - which would suggest that the traffic is going straight to the internet server, and not entering the vpn tunnel. However, copying a file from a smb file share on the server shows speeds of 700 kbits - corresponding with the uplink of our ADSL internet connection. Shutting down openvpn on the server automatically pushes the file transfer speed to 1000mbs (well, almost) - which is the speed of our internal network. Somehow the smb protocol is using different routing rules then the tracert command?

next thing to try is to install "iperf" on both a VPN client and *another* machine on the LAN (not the VPN server!) and then do a simple iperf test: this will show which IP the client is connecting from.

So install iperf, then the "another" machine, do
  iperf -s

and on the VPN client do
  iperf -c 192.168.112.XX

(the VPN server itself is a special case here, as all VPN clients will/should set up a bypass route to it )


Plus, like Gert said, if 192.168.113.0 is free, then modifying your VPN set up to do
  push "route 192.168.113.0 255.255.254.0"
should definitely ensure that the LAN route takes precedence over the VPN route, regardless of the metric.
