I think I got it!
https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/RoutedLans
trick is here:
OpenVPN Server side (192.168.0.0/24)
VPN Details: Advanced settings
Manage Client-Specific Options Yes
Allow Client <-> Client Yes
Allow only specified clients No
Custom Configuration
Code:route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 push "route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0"
create on OpenVPN SERVER side (192.168.0.0/24):
/jffs/configs/openvpn/ccd1/
file named "client" - this should be common name, if you have changed it, you should name it accordingly
and put this code inside
Code:iroute 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
reboot OpenVPN server, reboot OpenVPN client
*change 192.168.1.0 address to your CLIENT LAN subnet, it could be differrent
*change 192.168.0.0 address to your SERVER LAN subnet, it could be differrent
now in OpenVPN status (server side) you should see this
Routes

192.168.1.0/24 client Sun May 31 02:05:23 2015
from Server side (Asus router), I can ping Client LAN computers
@Merlin - what do you think about including OpenVPN site-to-site feature in next firmware release, at least as experimental feature? It should be dead simple to create one script
I know I am reviving an old post but I could use some advice on getting a 2nd client to work with the site to site VPN. I was able to follow the instructions above and get this to work with the Site A(Server) and Site B(Client1) but Site C is getting a connection issue where it wont connect. Using SSH I was able to create the directories /configs/openvpn/ccd1 and then command vi client to create the client file with the iroute. All 3 sites are on different subnets so there is no conflict. I am using TUN and just pushing the LAN not DNS or Internet Traffic. TLS auth is checked. Added the Route and Push to the custom config box. Client1 works great connecting to the server I can see both LANs from Client > Server and from Server > Client.
I exported the same .ovpn file to Client2. It has client in text at the very top. Since the OP said you need to have separate files for each client the only change I made to the was to rename the .ovpn file to client2 and edit the client part in the file and change it to client2. I created a second client2 file inside /jffs/configs/openvpn/ccd1 and set the iroute for that client2 subnet. Added the additional route and push in the custom config box on the server Saved and restarted both the server and client 1 and client 2.
I tried connecting from client 2 and no dice it fails the connection and I can't figure out why. Any help or ideas on what I need to change to allow it to connect? *Note I did try renaming the line back to client from client2 inside client2.ovpn and it connects but then gets the routing conflict.
Setup:
3 Sites: Server, Client1 and Client2
Server = RT-AC68R on stock ASUSWRT Firmware Version:3.0.0.4.380_7266
Client1 = RT-AC68R on stock ASUSWRT Firmware Version:3.0.0.4.380_7266
Client2 =RT-AC5300 on Merlin's Firmware:380.65_2

After further deliberation I believe the ASUSWRT outputs every .ovpn file as client and only allows 1 client? Is there a way to generate a second .ovpn with a different client so the second file /jffs/configs/openvpn/ccd1/client2 works? It seems it's not working nor connecting as client2 isn't an authorized client. Its all tied to 1 client.
I tried adding the 2nd iroute to the client file and renamed client2 back to client in the ovpn file. Now my Site C can connect to the server however from the Server and from Site B it can't see Site C.
Any thoughts?

To keep things simple, force the two clients to each use a separate Username/password combination to logon to the server.
This means both clients will use the same client.ovpn file, but the /jffs/openvpn/ccd1/client file cannot be used for specific client customisation.
Instead you will need to use a script such as:
https://www.snbforums.com/threads/o...e-to-site-connection.24268/page-4#post-306591"
which creates the virtual 'ccd1/client' file dynamically for each 'Username' as it connects to add the appropriate custom configuration such as the desired 'iroute' command.
NOTE: If you don't want to force the clients to authenticate then maybe if the clients have static I/P address (unlikely!) then the script should use the '$trusted_ip' rather than '$Username'
However, if you wish to create custom client files such as "SiteA.ovpn" and "SiteB.ovpn" (in order to use '/ccd1/SiteA' and '/ccd1/SiteB' file) then you need to follow
https://github.com/OpenVPN/easy-rsa/blob/v3.0.0-rc1/doc/EasyRSA-Readme.md"
EasyRSA can be installed on the router or Windows PC etc.
NOTE: If installing EasyRSA 3 on the router then I believe it also requires Entware utility 'mktemp'?

Thank you @Martineau appreciate the help. Google never showed me your other post ;-) I did a ton of Googling for finding a solution last night. I was already using separate user names that align with the client and client2 to keep it simple. I was able to get it connect just the client-client wasn't working and route to Client2 from Client and the Server wasn't either. I also figured out the duplicate-cn line in the server config.ovpn prevents it from doing the ../ccd1/client1 ../ccd1/client2. Since I am running stock ASUSWRT firmware I will need to change it and install Merlin's to run the script you and Merlin provided.
I wish Asus would have just included the ability to generate multiple clients from the router making it simpler to do site to site VPN

OpenVPN scripts are allowed as a standard feature of the OpenVPN installation!
https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/manuals.html
I suggest you first try and run the client-connect script under stock ASUSWRT.

@Martineau Thanks again for your assistance. I wanted to run Merlin's anyhow as I would like 1 server for routing the Site/Site and the other for secure Mobile internet browsing offsite.
However I have come across the issue a previous poster had adding your line client-connect /jffs/scripts/VPNClientConnect.sh causes my client router to say Authentication failed.
Steps taken:
1) Made sure to follow Merlins advice to enable the custom scripts in System and then to remember to set the permission properties chmod a+rx /jffs/scripts/*
2) Updated the Custom Configuration box to match what your's showed with the path to the script, the routes, and push routes. I am using the same .3.0 and .4.0 schema for my 2 client subnets
3) Re-exported the client1.ovpn file since the server is on vpnserver1
4) Uploaded the cert to my client router and tried to connect. No dice auth failed.
5) Removing that script line it connects just fine but then I would go back to using a single client file in the ccd1/client and only allow 1 site instead of multiple which is not what I need.
I am including the system log from the Server said that says something interesting that you may know how to resolve. Notice the item in red. Why did the external program fork failed? And what does it mean -script security 2 or higher must be enabled? Is that Server side or client side or both? And how to enable it?

Again very much appreciate your helpfulness @Martineau . My apologies for not being clear enough in my previous post. I am using Merlin's Firmware already when I discovered the problem. After you told me about doing the scripts I installed on my AC68R (server router) Merlin's latest stable build 380.65.2. So I am not running stock ASUSWRT as with my very first post.
In regards to the manual for 2.4 manual I did search it and there was nothing with "-script security 2" I couldn't find that anywhere. Also I did a Google Search and came up empty as well. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=-script+security+2+++OpenVPN&* I always do my best at researching on my own before I ask for assistance. Thank you for the help again as always. Logic dictated it was Server but wanted to be sure.
Steps taken:
Added the "script-security 2" into the custom configuration box
Applied, then stopped server, restarted server
Exported new .ovpn for client
Added to the client
No option for 'Selective Routing Policy rules' in AC5300(client router) Merlins 380.65.2 (Where do you enable?
Attempted to start and still get the authentication failed on the client.
Any more ideas? I noticed in yours you also have 2 scripts underneath script-security-2 (up updown.sh, down updown.sh). I am assuming those are somewhere in the gui since they arent in the custom box? Also if you're willing we could always schedule WebEx session and I could walk you through? I see you are based in the UK according to your profile. We could work out a time that's best for you if you're interested. Or just continue going back and forth here. Whatever works. Just trying to figure it out.

Strange, when I browse the OpenVPN 3.4 [sic] manual (using the URL I posted) I find this...
Did you cut'n'paste the three lines exactly as I posted?
Post the '/etc/openvpn/server1/config.ovpn' file.
Also did you make the script file executable as per the wiki? https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/User-scripts

Just saw my mistake.. bad typo. Was searching for "-script security 2" and its "-script-security" using Ctrl+F came up with 0 results on this. Thanks for pointing it out
Yes I did. I didn't include the commented out portion. Just the actual code.And yes made it executable as noted in previous comment. It shows its executable by everyone. (Groups, Owner, Others)

EDIT: If '/jffs/scripts/openvpn-event' doesn't exist then you must explicitly specify the 'script-security 2' directive.
Anyway perhaps the actual script needs to be debugged...
SSH/Telnet to the router and then cut'n'paste the following commands and post the complete output. (Excuse me if I don't believe you have done as expected, but sadly 'the devil is in the detail' and typos do happen.)
NOTE the 'l' command should have the 's' appended to form a 2-char command....but the forum normally blocks this from being posted
Code:
cd /jffs/scripts/
l -lah ./VPNClientConnect.sh
./VPNClientConnect.sh
chmod a+rx /jffs/scripts/*
l -lah ./VPNClientConnect.sh
./VPNClientConnect.sh
dos2unix ./VPNClientConnect.sh
./VPNClientConnect.sh
cat ./VPNClientConnect.sh | head

So I don't have anything else in my scripts folder other than your VPN Connect Script. What is the /openvpn-event?
Below is the debug. **Note in the script the only changes were the client1 and client 2 names like you stated. and I did change the "l" to "ls" to run it.
Code:
Using username "userx".

Users choose the RMerlin firmware because of its extensive customisation via scripting - you can read about openvpn-event (see Usage->User scripts) and all the others (Usage->Customising config files etc.) here:
https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki
So since openvpn-event is an optional RMerlin recognised custom script, if it exists then clearly for it to execute, the 'script-security 2' directive is obviously mandatory. - Doh!
The script appears to run correctly (several times) on the console - and I assume it has created the associated logfile in '/tmp' ?
So I can see no reason why the clients when they connect don't show the script executing.
If you temporarily remove the need for Username/password authentication,, can client1/2 connect with the script seen as running in Syslog?

@Martineau I figured it out. I happened to be browsing another Having trouble running custom scripts that had some issue that you also helped with.
My issue seemed to be the encoding. Even though I had created it prior with Notepad++ and copied it over via SCP it didn't recognize. What I did is delete the file and recreate it using the internal editor in WinSCP and save again.. chmod it to allow execute and boom retried and it worked fine.
I have all 3 sites working now thanks to you! You were a big help in guiding me and providing the scripts.

Thanks for the feedback! - I can now finally relax
....I was 200% sure that my script worked but I must admit I was starting to doubt my abilities

@Martineau you are so very welcome! I can't thank you enough! I don't doubt your abilities at all. You know your stuff. Since I have your attention haha. Any thoughts on resolving hostnames over OpenVPN?
None of the networks are on a domain just Workgroup only.
Option in Open VPN server is Push to LAN clients only.
I don't want any internet traffic or WAN DNS requests to resolve on the VPN server. Only LAN from all 3 clients.
The options Respond to DNS and Advertise DNS to clients I am assuming is related to the WAN DNS and not local dns right?
How would I go about forcing each client and server to resolve each other local lan DNS without a domain and without editing a local PC host file.
Agree with you AbOrigine, have tried to follow this but don't get it. Working just one way.
@AbOrigine - here is example how to get it working
on my ASUS router VPN Server side (192.168.0.1) I have added client1 entry 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
and connection works both ways, no need for additional scripts or anything else
VPN client side and VPN server side can't use the same IP range
