How is OpenVPN gateway address determined?

[mcarson75]

I have four separate OpenVPN client instances running, each with their own interface. All are site-to-site clients connecting to pfSense boxes at various locations on the opposite sides. All are running pfsense 2.4.4-p3.

Each client has a separate tunnel network.

Client 1: Tunnel network 10.0.0.0/24, local IP 10.0.0.2, remote IP 10.0.0.1, Gateway is 10.0.0.2
Client 2: Tunnel network 10.0.16.0/24, local IP 10.0.16.12, remote IP 10.0.16.1, Gateway is 10.0.16.1
Client 3: Tunnel network 10.0.21.0/24, local IP 10.0.21.5, remote IP 10.0.21.1, Gateway is 10.0.21.1
Client 4: Tunnel network 10.0.6.0/24, local IP 10.0.6.2, remote IP 10.0.6.1, Gateway is 10.0.6.1

I am trying to determine why Client 1's gateway is the local side instead of the remote side? For gateway monitoring, it should be around 250 ms ping (from Asia to USA) but instead I'm seeing 1 ms or less because it is pinging the local side. To mitigate it I set the monitor IP to a public DNS server, but I'd rather leave it at default and have it ping the far side of the tunnel.

If I go into the individual gateway settings all of the gateway IPs are set to "dynamic".

Where can I start looking to figure out why this one tunnel is acting differently?
