Networkmanager's OpenVPN plugins connects to OpenVPN servers and receives routes and addresses.

It also takes some arbitrary host as gateway, not the one that the server tells it to. In this scenario, it is no longer sufficient to configure the server properly, you also need to duplicate all configuration in the networkmanager applet on the client. It's been that way for years and this hasn't changed since (although the last version I tried was a year ago or so).
I had those issue too, but you can set pretty much everything related to routes in the "IP4 Settings -> Routes"[1] tab. Specially the "Ignore automatically obtained routes" option.
This is OT, but I still feel I need to bring this across: The point is that you shouldn't need to configure anything at all - and when you use OpenVPN directly, you don't need to. It's only networkmanager's incorrect defaults that make this more complicated than it should be.
Back on topic, we can drop at least kovpn then (CC'ing Sergej).
Yes, let's drop kovpn.
