I have a setup pretty similar to this except the LAN clients are behind a DHCP relaying router. The outermost router forwards traffic to the OpenVPN server on port 1194 and I can connect clients succesfully, routing traffic going into the VPN server, out through it's own NAT. My VPN virtual ip range is 172.31.0.0/24

Connecting as a VPN client outside the network, I am therefore able to get traffic on the internet, as well as to all the other clients connected to the first router hosting its own DHCP. (192.168.5.0/24). But when I try to access the second routers inner LAN I get the following response to pings:
PING 192.168.1.3 (192.168.1.3) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 172.31.0.1 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
The OpenVPN server is hosted on a box with restricted access so I can only retrieve the .conf files through the web ui, of which it only displays a limited amount of information. Connecting from the client gives me the following information:

I've also tried setting up a static route as suggested here https://community.openvpn.net/openvpn/wiki/BridgingAndRouting but without any luck.
