Answer by jb. for How make openvpn work with docker

Solution (TL;DR;)

Create /etc/openvpn/fix-routes.sh script with following contents:

#!/bin/sh

echo "Adding default route to $route_vpn_gateway with /0 mask..."
ip route add default via $route_vpn_gateway

echo "Removing /1 routes..."
ip route del 0.0.0.0/1 via $route_vpn_gateway
ip route del 128.0.0.0/1 via $route_vpn_gateway

Add executable bit to the file: chmod o+x /etc/openvpn/fix-routes.sh. Change owner of this file to root: chown root:root /etc/openvpn/fix-routes.sh.

Add to your config following two lines:

 script-security 2
 route-up  /etc/openvpn/fix-routes.sh

Explanation

Openvpn adds routes that for following networks: 0.0.0.0/1 and 128.0.0.0/1 (these routes cover entire IP range), and docker can't find range of IP addresses to create it's own private network.

You need to add a default route (to route everything through openvpn) and disable these two specific routes. fix-routes script does that.

This script is called after openvpn adds its own routes. To execute scripts you'll need to set script-security to 2 which allows execution of bash scripts from openvpn context.

Thanks

I'd like to thank author of this comment on github, also thanks to ovpn support.
