Strange behavior, cannot reach 4th hop

Hello,

few days ago I struggled with bird configuration over openvpn. It's working now. I can see, that every host has proper routes and with birdc show ospf topology I can see, that every router sees everyone else. I have following setting.

CLIENT A
192.168.21.1/28
l
l
l
192.168.21.5/28
ROUTER X
192.168.21.25/28
l
l
l
192.168.21.17/28
CLIENT B (with openvpn tunnet to server)
10.29.0.4/22
l
l
l
10.29.0.1/22
SERVER


The connection from CLIENT B to SERVER is over internet, but it shouldn't matter here.

Now the issue is as following:
- I can ping from ROUTER X the SERVER
- I can ping from CLIENT A the address (CLIENT B) 10.29.0.4 (and with traceroute I can see, that it's going correctly)
- I cannot ping from CLIENT A the SERVER

and the same in opposite direction:
- I can ping from SERVER the address 192.168.21.25 (Router X)
- I cannot ping the address 192.168.21.5



For me it seems like it has something to do with time to live (TTL), because the packets cannot reach 4th hop, but I didn't find anything about it in internet.

Do you have some ideas what could be wrong?

Best regards
Dawid
