lan - route : route openvpn traffic to IP?

[Symbiot]

Hi

what settings do I need to set when I want to direct clients that connect via my openVPN server to a specific IP (I am sharing 1 folder on a server)

the openVPN is setup on my ac66u and a friend can connect fine but he cannot reach my shared folder on a server.

from what I can tell I need to:

a: set this in custom configuration:
push "route 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0"

(haven't rebooted router or anything)

b: create a Route rule, which I've tried to do, but I've never done it before and am unsure of what goes where.

I've set it as follows:

Network/hostIP=10.8.0.1
netmask=255.255.255.0
(from openvpn settings)
Gateway=192.168.1.123 (server where the shared folder is located)
Metric=2 (no idea but saw someone else using 2)
Interface=WAN (since he's connecting from wan side but then again he's connected via openVPN so should it be LAN? )

Hoping for some pointers

undo all of the above; no routes are needed on the router itself, it already knows where your lan is. you were close with the openvpn command;

push "192.168.1.101 255.255.255.255"

in the custom config field on the router to tell clients how to find the IP 192.168.1.101 on your LAN. using the 255.255.255.255 netmask restricts the route to the single host.
