OpenVPN pushed routes

RouterOS General

Hi

I have a MikroTik (ROS 6.47.10 LT) OpenVPN client that connects to a Linux OpenVPN server (v. 2.4.4)

I am pushing a few routes to the MikroTik from the server when it connects using a client-config-dir file that looks like this:

push-reset
ifconfig-push 172.28.0.52 10.188.174.58
push "route 10.211.0.3 255.255.255.255 vpn_gateway 25"

It correctly installs a route to 10.211.0.3 in the routing table, but it ignores the metric / distance 25

How do overcome this without adding a static route?

Update: It seems that this is not possible with MikroTik’s current implementation of openvpn.
