Exclude some local subnets from OpenVPN tunnel

[toggenation]

On OPNsense 26.1.9 my OpenVPN server pushes a route to make both IPv4 and IPv6 the default gateway. So all traffic goes over the tunnel.

Code Select Expand

route push "redirect-gateway def1 ipv6"
I would create an exclusion to cause the OpenVPN client to send some traffic to the local gateway instead of the OpenVPN tunnel

How do I achieve keeping the tunnel as the default gateway and excluding traffic for some subnets from entering the tunnel?

In the past I would have pushed a custom route to the client as follows:

Code Select Expand

route push "10.19.80.0 255.255.255.0 net_gateway"
I've looked at CSO (Client Specific Overrides) and there doesn't appear to be a custom settings field to allow it. (from memory this used to be available before the update to the new instance configuration GUI)

Can get the result wanted by adding the following to the .ovpn file you give to the client

Code Select Expand

redirect-gateway def1 ipv6
route 10.19.80.0 255.255.255.0 net_gateway
