How can the phone understand to be in the right network first?
If the remote subnet is the same as the local subnet? I.e. I am the VPN client. I connect to the server. The server pushes me the subnet 192.168.1.0/24. I compare that against the (i.e. wireless) interface that I connected to the VPN on and see that it's also in 192.168.1.0/24.
Even if those were not really even the same subnets but just two separate instances of 192.168.1.0/24, things would be broken anyway since it would be ambiguous which network a connection to 192.168.1.33 should go to, so OpenVPN probably ought not to connect to ambiguous networks anyway, yes?

What's the mechanism you use to auto connect?
Nothing yet since this problem makes autoconnecting impractical. I thought I had noticed a setting in OpenVPN Connect to reconnect if it was previously connected. Maybe I am mistaken and this is all moot.

This is normally done by the server administrator.
That's me. :-) How is this done then?
Interestingly I just found
this similar question.
