I'm pretty sure that /sbin/ip will not know of an interface called 
"tun", either. (It might insist on being explicitly told what subnet 
mask to use, too.)

Not that your client would *need* those routes configured, as the server 
is already set up (with proper syntax) to "push" them to all clients.
