How is the client supposed to talk to the server if there is a route created
with better metric than the existing route to the server, when the route you
are creating depends on the "worse" metric route, the one that existed
before the openvpn session came up?

Depending on what you actually want to do, try setting a metric of say 30
(in any case "worse" than the existing route/default gateway route) on the
openvpn route to the server.

Why do you want to create a tunneled route to the server when you can
already connect to it? To bypass a firewall?
