OpenVPN issues

I'm trying to set up OpenVPN without much success.

When I click the "Start now" button it seems that it fails to start. (The button is grayed for a while, then goes back to normal. The status tab says "Server is not running or status could not be read.") I have tried to follow a couple of guides and tested various settings, but the result is the same. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

Problem 2: When I use VPN I would like to be in the same subnet as my local devices. That means I should select "TAP". But the OpenVPN client for Android doesn't support that. Can I use TUN and specify VPN subnet/netmask in such a way that the same subnet will be used?
