Clients cannot communicate with each other.
-
This morning, knowing that there would very little or no need to access the Internet, I decided to remotely configure all the three routers from scratch. I removed all the static routes and then the clients and servers. After that, I redefined OpenVPN servers and then the clients. But this time, I rebooted the routers after I configured them, which I had not done previously as the users could not afford even a minute of downtime. After each reboot, the VPN routes appeared to be offline for about 20 seconds or so, then got online and then I was able to connect to remote networks. So it appears that the OpenVPN was not to blame after all.
I think settles the matter for good. I have learned through hardship that it is a good idea to reboot your router after configuring router OpenVPN clients/servers and deploy them only when you know you have configured them properly. This was my first VPN job, so I think I am entitled to making mistakes.

A reboot is not necessary. Only stating this so future readers will know.
Glad you got past whatever problem it is you were having.
