This line was no-op until the author started using the `up` script as they describe later.

> The OpenVPN server can push DHCP options such as DNS and WINS server addresses to clients (some caveats to be aware of). Windows clients can accept pushed DHCP options natively, while non-Windows clients can accept them by using a client-side up script which parses the foreign_option_n environmental variable list.

It's still not clear to me what the experience would have been if the author had only 1.1.1.1 set at the system level, not touching any OpenVPN options.
