Hi,
I have been granted access to an OpenVPN server. I've imported my ovpn file from the SD card but i meet some issues.According to the app's log - it supports only "subnet" and "net30" topologies , while the server uses "[topology] [p2p].On my Fedora I have no issues connecting to the server. Is there anything I can do, having in mind that the server's config won't be changed?

Unless the server config is changed, you can do nothing ...

Also,

The Manual wrote:p2p -- Use a point-to-point topology where the remote endpoint of the client's tun interface always points to the local endpoint of the server's tun interface. This mode allocates a single IP address per connecting client. Only use when none of the connecting clients are Windows systems. This mode is functionally equivalent to the --ifconfig-pool-linear directive which is available in OpenVPN 2.0 and is now deprecated.

I suggest your server starts to use --topology subnet
