Where to add ip route add command for static routes?

[smcgrath12]

I have an OpenVPN server running on a Windows 10 box. This OpenVPN server has the subnet of 10.71.8.0/24. The IP of the Windows 10 box hosting this OpenVPN server is 10.76.5.16 and it is on the main subnet of my router (10.76.5.0/24)

Currently I add the following values in the UI (LAN/Route page). I would like to script it and make it take effect and not use the UI. I am guessing I need to execute the ip route add command, but I am not sure which (jffs ??) script that will go in...

The output of "route" command (for this route) gives me:

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.71.8.0 Main_Desktop 255.255.255.0 UG 1 0 0 br0

And in the LAN/Route UI, the values are:

Network/Host IP: 10.71.8.0
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.76.5.16
Metric: --Empty--
Interface: LAN

Thanks for your help!

Why are you trying to script it rather than doing it I the GUI? You just seem to be making life harder for yourself.
