Trying to use --redirect-gateway flag on OpenVPN and getting error max-routes must be specified before redirect-gateway. But I checked, and there is max-routes. It’s specified. It’s specified properly before redirect-gateway. It’s --max-routes 255. What gives?

Turns out the error msg is saying, max-routes must be specified, and max-routes must be specified before redirect-gateway, and lastly, max-routes cannot be specified after redirect-gateway. I have another copy of a trailing --max-routes.

English error msg is ambiguous, after all.
