Description

Currently the OpenVPN text reads:
EXAMPLE: push "route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0"

This should be updated to
EXAMPLE: push "route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 vpn_gateway 0"

In OpenVPN the vpn_gateway is automatically resolved to the gateway address.

The above change is necessary for example in the following network:

pfsense net: 10.0.0.0/24
openvpn net: 172.16.1.0/24
Advanced Options: push "route 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 vpn_gateway 0"
Remote IP Range from which we connect to pfsense: 10.0.0.0/24

With the current example without the vpn_gateway and the metric, all traffic will still be routed to the remote ip range. Providing the additional 2 parameters makes the remote 10.0.0.0/24 routeable.

I would do the change on my own but I do not know how to update all the translations which also contain this example.

The current example is valid. Your example does something different and more complicated that is not what the average user of that box will need.
