It is unusal to configure ifconfig/route details on the client as you
lose the freedom of centralized administration.

Try to replace
ifconfig x.x.x.x
route x.x.x.x
with
'client'

You forgot 'client' (which does 'tls-client' & 'pull') on the client.
'client' (or 'pull') tells your client to apply the pushed information.
