Traffic doesn't route through OpenVPN server while connecting by squid
 

Setup:

ubuntu server 18.04 with squid installed and working
--> installed openvpn client on ubuntu server


raspberry pi in my home network with openvpn server installed and working (can connect and use connection with any device)


objective:
"anydevice" using HTTP proxy --> external server with squid proxy (openvpn client) ---> RPi (openvpn server with dyn.dns public address) ---> using home internet connection

problem:

if i connect to the squid proxy i can use it and everything works fine... as soon as i establish the openvpn connection the traffic from "anydevice" isn't routed through the openvpn connection or at least i get a timeout error

routing table without openvpn established

route -n
