/etc/network/interfaces looks like

I have tried 

$ sudo ip addr flush dev wlo1

$ sudo ip addr flush dev enp8s0

and restarting, but errors still occur when connecting with openvpn

I have removed route remote_host 255.255.255.255 net_gateway from client.ovpn file

    This doesn't answer or explains the original problem.. can't see how this could possibly be an accepted answer. – jso May 06 '19 at 08:51
  • It's odd but I've been having the same issues with OpenVPN and disabling that line has solved the issue for me as well. I'm not sure why but it's working for me – Steve Mapes Apr 01 '21 at 12:48

/sbin/ip route add 10.1.1.1/32 via 10.10.10.1 and /sbin/ip route add 188.93.88.146/32 via 192.168.0.1 are both being executed on previous lines, resulting in the File Exists errors. Removing those duplicates will solve your problem (I believe).
