I was able to connect in routed mode. It's the bridged mode that makes 
this impossible, right?

I went to the server config, and changed this line:

   server-bridge 10.0.0.3 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.61 10.0.0.90

to this:

   server-bridge 10.0.0.3 255.255.255.0 172.16.0.1 10.0.0.100

And when I tried to start the OpenVPN deamon, I got this error in the log:

Options error: --server-bridge IP addresses 10.0.0.3 and 172.16.0.1 are 
not in the same 255.255.255.0 subnet

I tried this with the bridge up and also down, on the Linux server.
