How to set up a roadwarrior config in OpenVPN, using "OpenVPN connect" for Android and iOS

Tested in android and it seems to me that it is not supported. The client is stuck waiting for the server to respond to a push request. I assume the client is the problem . I did a brief search and it seems to me that it is supported only on desktop app (windows and MacOS), I did not see any positive result on the mobile front.

Here the logs

09:50:09 openvpnserver[8037]:  130.223.148.213:47916 PUSH: Received control message: 'PUSH_REQUEST'
09:50:10 openvpnserver[8037]:  130.223.148.213:47916 PUSH: Received control message: 'PUSH_REQUEST'
09:50:12 openvpnserver[8037]:  130.223.148.213:47916 PUSH: Received control message: 'PUSH_REQUEST'

Do the mobile platforms even have an app “community edition”? I do not see anything like that in google store.

Edit, I found the answer, the “community edition” for Android is the app maintained by Arne Schwabe. I will test it for the 2FA functionality when I will find the time. First, I want to finish the howto part, including iOS. I will keep updating the document here.

Edit 2: also Arne Schwabe app failed to ask for the TOTP token, I guess it is not yet implemented
